[9fans] Egg and chicken..

Hi, I have an old sony laptop which has a currently unsupported Neomagic 256 AV+ graphics device. Based on a reading of the XFree Neomagic driver I have made changes to the kernel and aux/vga and, as you all probably know ;-), I have re-compiled the kernel etc...(I have another pc running Pla

[9fans] Building new kernel.

Hi all, I am having trouble building a new kernel for a terminal. I do mk 'CONF=pcf' and I get the error mk: don't know how to make '/386/bin/fossil/fossil' in directory /sys/src/9/pc A mk 'CONF=pc' works fine. I am hoping this is some simple newbie mistake. Thanks Bob

Many thanks for this recipe. For the moment, though, I am going to stick with my cp /sys/lib/kbmap/uk /dev/kbmap in my profile Unless there is a good reason why I shouldn't? Bob erik quanstrom wrote: In which case, this doesn't seem to be a very practical mechanism. Wouldn't it be

[9fans] setting up a differnet keyboard

Hi, I want to setup my new plan9 termnial with a UK keyboard. I found kbmap but this appears to be an interactive program. Even if you do kbmap /sys/lib/kbmap/uk it still acts in an interactive manner. Is this right? A qick glance at the code reveals that cp /sys/lib
