what is the actual size of your screen in pixels?  Mine is really 1024x768x8.  Sounds like
yours might be a 1440 width screen.

My new T23 arrived.  I installed plan9 without problems and
then pulled the latest sources.  Now I am trying to get a
decent screen resolution.  I put a menu in plan9.ini
to allow me to choose from

	1) vgasize=640x480x8:  This works, of course, but is
	annoying.

	2) vgasize=800x600x8:  This has a weird speckled
	appearance, but it is tolerable for about 5 minutes.

	3) vgasize=1024x768x8:  This causes the screen to
	behave very strangely.  Nothing is legible.

all of these are with monitor=xga.  I assume the rest of
plan9.ini is not relevant.  I can post the rest if anyone
cares.  /lib/vgadb is whatever was on sources.  I didn't
change anything.  Does anyone with a T23 have any suggestions?
Thanks,
				John
