I use the vesa driver occasionally on my Atom motherboard
(Intel 940?) and have had no such "droppings", so the
problem isn't universal.

So is it so that anybody using vesa should see it in plan9 when
hwaccel is off or when inferno runs on plan9 regardless the state of
hwaccel?
(At school I use i81x and plan9 itself is ok with both on/off.)
Thanks

there's a bug in the control of the software cursor in plan 9,
probably when loadimage is used. it can leave what my children call chicken
tracks,
as it updates the cursor. it shows up in at least vnc and inferno because they
use the equivalent of
loadimage on the screen to update their displays.

yes, 'echo', not 'cat', actually

Of course, you mean "echo -n hwaccel off > /dev/vgactl", right?
