Subject: 003056-014 VGA card supported?
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 1995 12:43:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950725164328.Aw8eC0qn26kUZKJI2Iu_ZO5Jxrqj_3tQf8pu0hBJUOQ@z> (raw)
I've been playing with the trial distribution floppies, trying to
get the system to boot on an old Dell 316SX, here at work. I can get
it as far as attempting to configure the VGA system, but of course the
default /lib/vgadb doesn't have an entry for my machine. I've tried
hacking vgadb and just adding in an entry for it as a straightforward
640x480, but it just hangs. Sigh. I've got the machine to the state
where it can boot up and give me a shell, but there's no access to
8½, etc.
So the question is, is there any way of getting it to support this card,
or do I just give up on this particular machine?
