Problem with Hercules Dynamite Power

[Henner Gratz a82@blue.lrw.uni-bremen.de]

Hello Plan9 users!

After the installation of the 4 diskette system, I'm now trying to configure
the system. Unfortunately I have some trouble with my Hercules Dynamite VGA
card.

Up to now I used the vgadb that came with the diskette system (the updated
one from plan9.att.com) and everything seems to be okay. Because I wasn't
able to get a good color monitor, I have to use a (very) old black/white
VGA monitor (14"), until there is enough money for a better one...

But now I discovered, that my Hercules Dynamite Power 2MB PCI has a newer
ROM Version than the ones used by the AT&T folks. Because adding an entry
to vgadb seems to be easy in this case, I simply added one and start Plan9.
The system boots normally, but now I get four identical pictures on the screen.

Is there someone out there with the same firmware release, who has solved this
problem?

Here are the VGA cards board informations:

Hercules product		: Hercules Dynamite Power PCI
Model number			: D902
Bus type			: PCI
Windows accelerator chip  	: ET4000-W32p
Display memory size		: 2048K DRAM

And here is my vgadb entry:
ctlr
        0xC0184="Hercules PCI Bus Dynamite(tm) BIOS. Ver. 8.00N-D2h(05/31/95)"
        0xC0076="Tseng Laboratories, Inc. 07/25/94 V8.00N"
        link=vga
        ramdac=ics534x-135
        ctlr=et4000-w32p
        hwgc=et4000hwgc


Thank you very much for your help!

Tschuess,

	Henner
