No, it was not true. As I have lab's Plan9 distro. on this machine, I was confused it. Now, I changed the /lib/ndb/local of the 9front's server machine's that terminal item, from bootf=/386/9pcf to bootf=/386/9bootpxe, and it solved the problem. Now I can pxe boot the machine on 9front's environment. Kenji

Sorry, it was 9/pc/vgavesa.c. Anyway, now I have file/auth/cpu server on this A68N-5000 machine with 1680x1050x32 resolution. During this process, the problem disappeared. Now I have /dev/realmode.

Re: [9fans] Strange VGA thing
A68N-5000 motherboard which I'm using it for vesa mode of1400x1050x16 size.
However, there is /dev/realmodemem, but no /dev/realmode.
My plan9.ini file has monitor=vesa line.
Strange!
Why I can have working screen with 1400x1050x16?
The /rc/bin/termrc script does this:
@{
rfork n
if(~ $monitor vesa)
aux/realemu
aux/vga -l $vgasize
}
so realemu is most likely not running in your namespace.
9front-ow...@ttr.inri.net is working?
The correct way to subscribe to the 9front mailing list is to
send a message with a body that just says subscribe (no quotes)
to 9front-ow...@9front.org. After subscribing, list messages are
sent to and received from 9fr...@9front.org.

9atom does similar. this has caused a few questions, so i feel
that it's really not worth the trouble to save a mb or two. gotchas
are expensive. i'll probablly change this when i get a chance.

Re: [9fans] Strange VGA thing
realmodemem file is provided by the '#P' kernel device. realmode file is provided by aux/realemu. 9/pc/devvesa.c has both of them. My interesting poit is why I have 1400x1050x16 display which should be vesa mide. The workings of realemu are explained in the realemu(8) man page. Basically, the realemu program provides the /dev/realmode synthetic file. sl
