I'm trying to install Plan9 on VMware Workstation 5.5.2, however
when I get to the installation, things start acting really weird. See
attached image. The text is gone, but when I click around there, it
sometimes appears, then it disappears again.
Some more info would be really appreciated. Your VMWare config, for example.
You arrive to the rio stage of installation, so I'd bet that you
didn't deactivate hwaccel in vmware or something similar.
Anyway, there are lots of info in the wiki, ie:
Chip | Native | VESA | Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VMware virtual chipset (vmware won't release documentation, please use
qemu instead)
4.5 | Yes | ? |
5.0 | Yes | ? | Needs hwaccel off
Checking your vmware config or trying with qemu sounds like a good
idea and reading the installation instructions, installation
troubleshooting and hardware compatibility sections of the wiki is a
must.
