[9fans] vmware fusion 3.0.1 and VESA

[kazumi iwane]

Hello list,

I am using plan9 on vmware fusion 3.0.1 and VESA mode doesn't work for me.
For example,

 aux/vga –m vesa –p

hangs the virtual machine. The biggest screen size I can get to,
without VESA, is

 monitor=multisync135
 vgasize=1024x768x32

and anything bigger causes kernel panic.

What monitor/vgasize combination works for you, preferably bigger one
than above?


Also, does the mouse one-three combination work in acme?

I tried compiling 9plug kernel and got an error:

mk: no recipe to make 'sdscsi.5' in directory /sys/src/9/kw

Do I need to copy /sys/src/9/pc/sdscsi.c , or edit plug conf file?

Thank you. It is compiling OK now.

if you want to delay the expansion of an env var until fn invocation,,use eval.

% fn foo {eval echo $$bar}
