You're right -- there's only one switch in s3load.
There used to be identical redundant ones.  I forgot
that the second got replaced by the dolock variable.

When you move the mouse over a window border,
does the cursor change at all?  (On a system with a
working cursor, the cursor changes to indicate that
you can drag the window border to resize the window.)

Yes, but maybe not like you might expect. I`ve taken a
short series of picture to show you the changes.

The first picture depicts the mouse cursor just after
bootstrap. Note the two vertical black bars with
horizontal lines in the top left corner of the screen.
See the following link:
http://www.0xfe.org/plan9/1-mouse-after-bootstrap.jpg.

The second picture depicts the mouse cursor while
selecting a menu item. Note the distance between
the cursor and the menu. See the following link:
http://www.0xfe.org/plan9/2-mouse-selecting-menu-item.jpg.

The third picture depicts the mouse cursor while resizing
the window. Note the change in the cursor. The lines are now
vertical. See the following link:
http://www.0xfe.org/plan9/3-mouse-resizing-window.jpg.

The last picture depicts the mouse cursor after resizing
the window. The vertical lines are now gone. See the following
link:
http://www.0xfe.org/plan9/4-mouse-after-resizing-window.jpg.

I hope these pictures help.

Thanks,

Vester Thacker

You should be able to apply the same cursor fix that
I posted yesterday (adding the pci did to the
switches in /sys/src/9/pc/vgas3.c:/^s3load).
Running "pci" should tell you the PCI did -- the
vid/did that looks like 5333/xxxx is the one you
want.

Getting going in better resolutions is a bit
trickier.

You have to recompile your kernel.

Edit /sys/src/9/pc/vgas3.c to add "case 0x8D02:"
to both switches in s3load.  Then do:

	cd /sys/src/9/pc
	mk 'CONF=pcdisk'

That builds 9pcdisk.  Run

	9fat:
	acme -c1 /n/9fat/plan9.ini

and, right after the bootfile=sdC0!fs!/386/9pcdisk
line, add

	bootfile=sdC0!fs!/sys/src/9/pc/9pcdisk

Then when you boot again, you'll get a choice
of kernel.  If the changed kernel works, you can
then copy /sys/src/9/pc/9pcdisk to /386/9pcdisk
and remove the extra line.

Your mouse cursor is uninitialized.  After you've
installed, see if the problem persists.  If it does,
then let us know what kind of video card you have
(what does aux/vga -p print?).

Thanks.

How do you change the size of the mouse cursor under rio? My mouse
cursor currently appears as two black bars. A picture of the cursor
can be found at: http://www.0xfe.org/plan9/cursor.jpg.

Thanks in advance,
