Subject: [9fans] auth/cpu vga problems

I followed the instructions for creating an auth/cpu server
but can not get rio to run on the cpu server.

I've added calls to aux/mouse and aux/vga in cpurc, but
aux/vga dies with the error

aux/vga: vgactlw: <hwgc rgb524hwgc>: bad arg in system call

The vgadb line for the card is "Stealth 64 Video VRAM 3.00".

The vga works with no problems when running as a terminal, it is
only when running as a CPU server that things don't work.
What's going on?


Also, what is the status of the kfs patch that will allow the same machine to
be used as a cpu/auth/fileserver?
