Subject: [9fans] Update to Parallels docs for Plan 9 (very small update)
Date: Thu,  6 Jul 2006 23:30:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3e1162e60607062330u6e001f50y95acbbb44efe9404@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Turns out Plan 9 does work @ 1344x840x32 just fine with Parallels on
Mac OS X in "vesa" mode.

I've updated my docs to reflect that.

16bpp mode does *not* work however and got me nothing but a black screen.

Couldn't even see the mouse cursor but luckily I was able to draw a
new window in Rio anyway, mount 9fat, and use "ed" to delete the line
that said "monitor=vesa" to get back to a non-graphical Plan 9 boot so
I could try 32bpp mode.

That was somewhat... exciting :-)  Maybe I should make this a CPU
server instance instead of a Terminal so I can drawterm in if I ever
do that again. :-)
