i think i have noticed this problem in some Dell models. basically it is
to do with graphics. i think you wont be able to run plan 9 on it.

Hi all,
I'm in the Partdisk option in the Install Process of 9, but can't figure out how to choose a different partition, what is the command? I have a completley 'EMPTY' partition i want to use.
I also have another question, how can i fix my GfX during the GUI install of 9, i have tried 800x600x16 - The GUI is a bit rough, and some of the text is distorted, 1024 isan't any better but halft of typed/ Displayed text is still distorted and missing letters. Trying on a DELL Latitude laptop with ATI Rage 8MB M1.Any Help?
Thanks

Hello Jon,
Did you solve this problem yet?
I tried to reproduce the problem here without
success.
I think I have the same video card, and mine
works nicely with plan 9.
Kindest regards,
Tom

in Intel ones but mine (in T23) works fine.

I'm runnig a T21 and it will only work at 1024x768, even in Windows
that's all it'll do.
Its using kfs on a 10G partition

AFAICT, the Intel card was the only one supported initially, which
caused me some confusion when I tried to install on my T21 and couldn't
get the network to work.
Its all been working fine for months now. Updates from sources, etc.

SOrry, can't help you there, but if you need any config files from mine,
just ask.
plan9.ini contains:

Well, I finally acquired a new (to me) T21 thinkpad and am proud to
report that R4 installed just fine from the iso image pulled today.
kfs was a no go (something like /bin/disk/kfscmd not found) but fossil
worked out just fine. Now to get 1400x1050 going....
One thing the machine is lacking is any kind of wired ethernet. I see
that IBM shipped other configurations of the T21 with either an Intel or
3COM mini-pci combo card. Is either of those supported? Any other
mini-pci ethernet cards known to work?
I've got a proxim 802.11a/b/g pc card in there now but I'm sure there's
no hope for that just yet.
Cheers,
~Jason
