Hello list,

I am using plan9 on vmware fusion 3.0.1 and VESA mode doesn't work for me.
For example,

 aux/vga –m vesa –p

hangs the virtual machine. The biggest screen size I can get to,
without VESA, is

 monitor=multisync135
 vgasize=1024x768x32

and anything bigger causes kernel panic.

What monitor/vgasize combination works for you, preferably bigger one
than above?


Also, does the mouse one-three combination work in acme?

they do, but I found it's quite better to have a standalone cpu server
in vmware and drawterm from the host, it makes your life easier,
being able to access the local drives in /mnt/term/ and to share the
snarf buffer.

others like tim run vmware fullscreen, so I'll let them to comment on
that

I have used 1280x1024 and 1680x1050 a lot.  You may have to
add lines to your vga db.
