i tried 1280x1024x8 and 1280x1024(?!). it seems to hang. no luck
with vesa
also.
is anyone able to get any better resolution with vmware fusion in
mac (or
parallels for mac 4.0, if it works for plan9)?
Native resolution on new macbook works with fusion. I added to /lib/
vgadb:
macbook=1280x800
include=1152x768
If resolution 1280x1024x8 doesn't work for you, it's worth trying
other depths
x16 x24 or x32.
I still recomend keeping the VMware Plan 9 instance as a console (text
only) and using drawterm to connect in--much more responsive and gives
clean access back to your host filesystem.
The docs on creating a stand alone cpu server help getting the
configuration to work.
