Hi!

I am trying to boot a new installation of Plan9 in a VMware Server 2.0.=20
All is fine (installation under textonly) but I can=B4t get rio.

I get this on the console:

aux/vga: vgactlw: linear 0x8000000 0x0: unknown vmware id 0740
rio: can't open display: initdisplay: /dev/draw/new: no frame buffer.

Then, I try this:

1. Edit plan9.ini and change monitor=3Dvesa: Plan9 boot stops before rio=20
starts (hanged)
2. Edit /lib/vgadb and add a new vmware card, with the new id (0x0740)=20
and recompile the pcf kernel with the options of vmware1(kernel 1) and=20
vmware2 (kernel 2) id's. Copy the kernels to 9fat partition and boot=20
with them. Both kernel stops before rio starts (hanged)

Any help?

Thanks. slds.
