Subject: VGA problems
Date: Sun, 6 Aug 1995 11:22:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950806152245.m2sXSAgFaj_IlbRO3izXEUgBUAFRuZk2C4YesLWoTpU@z> (raw)
prompt. /tmp/x contains:
tag =3D Tnone; expected Tfile
I tried fiddling with the entry for the PowerGraph X-24 in /lib/vgadb, su=
ch as
commenting out the lines following "link=3Dvga". No help. I also change=
d the
BIOS ID string, to make sure vga(8) was actually recognizing my card. It=
is.
1) i don't understand the error in /tmp/x, it's nothing to do with aux/vga, try
running ramfs first;
2) i don't understand the reference to "link=3Dvga", you haven't been fiddling
with aux/vga without a licence have you?
my understanding here is that you have a supported vga card but an unsupported monitor.
using the line "monitor=vga" in plan9.ini and the distributed /lib/vgadb should work
for resolutions of 640x480x[18] and 800x600x[18].
then you need to either find a suitable entry in the monitor section of /lib/vgadb
(one of the 'multisync... entries) or craft one yourself.
