Subject: [9fans] Plan9 in VMware?
Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2001 09:56:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <95k9is$j6e$1@bob.news.rcn.net> (raw)
I can run Plan9 in VMware, but cannot get the video running correctly. Can
it be done? I've got:
monitor=multisync75
vgasize=800x600x8
in my plan9.ini file (monitor=vga and 640x480 gives the same results), and:
ctlr
0xC002D="PhoenixView(tm) VGA-Compatible BIOS Version"
link=vga
hwgc=s3hwgc
ctlr=trio64
link=ibm8514
in my vgadb, which *almost* works. I can see the video, but it's got
alternating black bands interspersed with the picture pixels, and I can
see, eg, the bar graphs repeated several times diagonally across the
picture, like it's just out of sync or something, but I can't make it any
better. Tried many other settings and chipsets, to no avail. Has anyone
made this work? (Under vmware 1, I don't have 2)
I've seen others mention that enabling VMware's ethernet controller causes
it to throw an exception under Plan9; any luck on that?
I'm running XFree86 Version 4.0.1 on a Matrox G400 at 1600x1200x24@75Hz
(but changing that doesn't change the VMware screen's behavior). Here's my
