"You are at Witt's End ..." Well, I am. Parallels 8.0.18608. Mac OS 10.8.5. Plan 9 from roughly August 30. 9pcf kernel running flawlessly in a 2560x1440x32 full screen window, for weeks.
Two days ago, I boot the VM and it (9pcf) decides there is no longer a frame buffer. It worked fine the day before. I haven't touched any of the Plan9 binaries or kernels, nor have I (knowingly) updated Parallels. I did do the Mac OS 10.8.4 -> 10.8.5 update recently, but I am positive this worked after the OS upgrade. I have had this happen before with Parallels, and have never been able to discover the underlying cause. And it is driving me completely fscking insane. Someone please tell me I am not the only one being inflicted with this. Or better yet, come exorcise the bad bloody hardware karma I am suffering! I don't deserve this ... --possessed
