(if anybody has info on why straight posting doesn't work, please let me know because I just do not understand why I can't...specially with all the spam that goes on) Anyway, I mailed this before and I hope this time it'll be posted and I'll get some help. Thanks a lot. jj Previous non-posted mail: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D START =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Hi, I am encountering problems with my newly installed plan9. There is couple of messages that troubles me and mainly the vga is not working. I put the messages I get below. I scanned the archive, and saw Russ answer about adding a line in vgadb in the bootfloppy...This file is not there on my boot floppy (nor in the file system using du -a | grep vgadb). Any help would be greatly appreciated since I went through some trouble already (linux lilo/mbr....) and I want to have this install completed. Thanks. jj PS: I am confused about why the install rio window is working but not the normal one using aux/vga after install. If it's working during the install, shouldn't it work after? Doesn't it mean that my video card is supported ?
