Hi,

I cannot get vmware to work with plan9. The display is either not detected,
and reports

	/bin/aux/vga: vgactlw: <type vmware>: bad VGA control message "type message"

and offers a text install, or it hangs hard.

anyone got plan9 to work (with VmWare workstation 11).

In the meantime I have got virtualbox to work but the company seems
to prefer vmware

-Steve

I never had a problem with vmware 9/10.
