[9fans] VMware Server 2.0 Video Chipset
Hi!
I am trying to boot a new installation of Plan9 in a VMware Server 2.0.
All is fine (installation under textonly) but I canīt get rio.
I get this on the console:
aux/vga: vgactlw: linear 0x8000000 0x0: unknown vmware id 0740
rio: can't open display: initdisplay: /dev/draw/new: no frame buffer.
Then, I try this:
1. Edit plan9.ini and change monitor=vesa: Plan9 boot stops before rio
starts (hanged)
2. Edit /lib/vgadb and add a new vmware card, with the new id (0x0740)
and recompile the pcf kernel with the options of vmware1(kernel 1) and
vmware2 (kernel 2) id's. Copy the kernels to 9fat partition and boot
with them. Both kernel stops before rio starts (hanged)
Any help?
Thanks. slds.

The kernel file edited was /sys/src/9/pc/vgavmware.c and copy the
options of vmware1 and vmware2 cards.
