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.
