Interestingly, 32bpp vesa mode is only working when I first boot parallels into 8bpp mode, then change my plan9.ini to show 32bpp and then reboot.
32bpp on the first boot results in a failure to find the mode and then being stuck in a text mode. Dave On 7/6/06, David Leimbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
http://mordor.tip9ug.jp/who/leimy/parallels.html Turns out Plan 9 does work @ 1344x840x32 just fine with Parallels on Mac OS X in "vesa" mode. I've updated my docs to reflect that. 16bpp mode does *not* work however and got me nothing but a black screen. Couldn't even see the mouse cursor but luckily I was able to draw a new window in Rio anyway, mount 9fat, and use "ed" to delete the line that said "monitor=vesa" to get back to a non-graphical Plan 9 boot so I could try 32bpp mode. That was somewhat... exciting :-) Maybe I should make this a CPU server instance instead of a Terminal so I can drawterm in if I ever do that again. :-) Dave
