So basically I didn't notice that '#v'/vgactl actually has type 'cga'
on boot, even if I had specified 'vga' or 'igfx' in plan9.ini.
Plan9.ini(8) mentions that the file isn't looked at by the kernel, but
had thought it would be a way to specify which vga driver to load.
Maybe that's be design. In /cfg/machine/cpurc, I have
:
echo -n type igfx >'#v'/vgactl
echo -n drawint >'#v'/vgactl
echo -n hwblank on >'#v'/vgactl
That configures my screen correctly. Doing 'aux/vga -p' indirectly
modifies type to 'igfx' which is why I thought that was the value on
boot, and that is what is reflected in my sysinfo that I posted.
Thanks Nick and Anthony for replying to my previous posts in this
thread. I think it helped me to re-consider my assumptions and find
out that the hard work was already done for me by 9front committers.
