1) happens on the T23 also.  We haven't fixed it yet.

2) Gosh, I only see it replicated once.  It doesn't happen if I use
8 bit depth instead of 16.  You using 24?  The problem is that the
system resets the vga behind our backs, so to speak.  I haven't
tried to see if there's a way to fix this with the APM.  There
must be.

Perhaps, jmk will have better insights.

There are two niggling display problems with Plan 9 on my T21 Thinkpad -
do you see them on a T23 as well?

1. After rebooting with Ctrl-Alt-Delete or ^t^tr, the cga display comes
up (usually but not every time) with "doubled" characters -- i.e. instead of
  PBS...Plan 9 from Bell Labs
it says
  PPSS..PPaa    rrmmBBll  aass
and so on.  If you type on the keyboard, only every second character is
echoed (twice).

2. In vga mode, if you close and reopen the cover, the display is replicated
three times horizontally across the screen.
