hi richard,
i tried various combinations:

1280x1024
1280x800
1152x768
1920x1200

(i tried combinations like with x8, x24, x32 (not x16 i think)). nothing
seems to help. 1920x1200 looked like it turned the graphics mode on but then
it crashed.

btw, what was your plan9.ini config? did it look like:

vgasize=1280x800
monitor=macbook (or xga?, sorry i am not sure about this)

and, since we are in VM, does the native resolution really matter? my
thinking was, basically VM provides memory space and the graphics driver in
guest OS thinks this is its frame buffer. when a draw happens, the guest
OS's window gets updated. am i right or wrong?

regards
dharani
