9fans, > VESA requires realmode.
Thank you Erik, it was an oversight from my part. I was able to start rio in 1024x768x8 and 1280x1024x8 using the VESA driver, however, the keyboard was not working, and the pointer had no cursor. Please note, that, while the pointer had no cursor, the mouse was working fine, and I was able to open windows, although I couldn't type anything in them. This is what I bind (cpurc) before starting rio: for (i in m i S t U P) bind -a '#'^$i /dev >/dev/null >[2=1] Please note that I'm using a PS/2 mouse and keyboard, and I am not starting the usb daemon. Finally, the keyboard works fine at the Plan9 boot prompt. Should this matter, aux/vga doesn't use the '-c' option. Any thoughts? Jerome
