This post didn't garner a response. A couple of years later, I have the same question. Is anyone running Plan 9 native at 1920x1080 with an LCD monitor? What video card are you using? What tweaks were necessary to get it to work? The Nvidia card I use with OpenBSD crashes Plan 9 when I attempt xga above 640x480x8. With cinap's realemu I'm able to run at 800x600x32, but the card's VESA bios doesn't report any available modes above 800x600. Some other cards I had sitting around yielded higher resolutions under realemu (VMware even reports 1920x1080 as a valid mode under VESA), but I haven't yet hit upon the right combination to drive my LCD monitor at 1920x1080. -sl
