Hello 9fans.
I just installed plan9 on one of my machines, but it seems like my video
card it's not supported.
Linux says:
$ lspci |grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage II+
215GTB [Mach64 GTB] (rev 9a)
>From a little research that I did before installing plan9, I was kinda
sure that all the Mach64 card are supported.
In the installation it didn't bring "rio" up, instead it gave me an
error; "no frame buffer", so I decided to make the textonly installation
and then try to solve the video issue.
So I finished the installation and here I am, trying to find out if I
can make this video card to work on plan9, and asking if someone had
solved this already.
I searched the mailing this archive and found this:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=9t1b3q%24crc%241%40newpoisson.nosc.mil&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dplan9%2B%2Bmach64%2Bgtb%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D9t1b3q%2524crc%25241%2540newpoisson.nosc.mil%26rnum%3D1
I think that is the same problem that I have, is there any success?
Any help would be appreciated.
Shay.

do an 'lspci -n' and save the vid/did pair for the same device (vid should
be 0x1002, i believe).
edit /lib/vgadb on the plan9 machine and add the vid/did pair to the ctlr
section for ati cards (ctlr=mach64xx).
reboot and if you see that it works send the change to vgadb to bell labs :)
good luck :)

Hmm, seems like adding this isn't enough, I got "rio" but I can't see
anything, the screen looks fuzzy, at first I though that it has
something to do with the monitor setting, but I tryed various
combinations in the "vgasize" line, on plan9.ini, and nothing seems to
work, tryed with two different monitors.
Any ideas? maybe there's something to be changed/added to the
driver/vgadb file?
Thanks.

that's not very good... what resolutions are you trying it with?
start with 800x600x8 and work your way up.
there may be changes to the vga driver required -- look at XFree86's
driver for hints (usual movie quote applies: "Smokey, my friend,
you're entering a world of pain").

Heh, well, I tryed with all the resolution that I found in the vgadb
file, with both monitors (that why it took me too long to send the mail
saying that there's more about that card, and that's why I got to the
conclusion that it is the card and not the monitor.
