to those having trouble with vmware video settings:

i fixed what i think was causing all the problems,
but i'd like confirmation of that before i build
a new install floppy.

please download http://plan9.bell-labs.com/~rsc/mousetest.gz.
it's a floppy image.  uncompress it and set up a new
vm using it as the floppy.  hard disk settings are
irrelevant.

when you boot it, i hope you'll see a blank white screen.
when you start moving the mouse you'll see a text description
of the mouse coordinates and button status displayed in
the upper left corner.

if you find that it doesn't work in your favorite video
mode, mail me and we'll try to figure out what's wrong.
