Subject: [9fans] vga problems on vmware player
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 512ca214-ead7-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

The host system is a Thinkpad X200s running Windows 7.
Its highest native screen resolution is 1280x800 (not sure
if I got the WXGA+ which could make that 1440x900).

I have it connected to a monitor, running on 1280x1024x32.
If I run the Plan 9 kernel in VMWare Player and choose a
vgasize of 1152x900x32 (monitor=multisync) or 1280x1024x32
(monitor=xga), the kernel panics (when vga loads). I've tried
various other combinations, and it seems the kernel always
panics with height > 800.

Would it be possible, in any way, to get fullscreen in VMWare
Player, on this monitor?


Thanks,
ak
