Subject: et4000/w32 ISA (Machspeed 1600)
Date: Thu, 9 Nov 1995 05:14:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19951109101406.9v5lIR06HOCVD2hphHuHidAGus5UTpWLzVsME3_ic9o@z> (raw)
I've gotten success to make my et4000/w32 graphic card use as 1024x768x1i
mode. I hope this may help someone of Plan 9 fans.
The card is "Machspeed 1600", where I don't know its exact name, because
I picked it up from my friend's junk box without manual. This is a ISA card.
Ami (1985-1991)BIOS reports it as "Machspeed 1600, Chipset: Tseng Labs
et4000/32".
I have lines in /lib/vgadb as follows:
ctlr
0xC0076="Tseng Laboratories, Inc. 10/14/93 V8.00N"
link=vga
clock=ics2494a-304
ramdac=att20c490-80
ctlr=et4000-w32
hwgc=et4000hwgc.
In addition, you may write two lines in plan9.ini file as,
monitor=multisync65
vgasize=1024x768x1i.
It may noteworthy to describe that I had to set BIOS as VGA Shadow enable
to avoid panic during change to SVGA mode. Here, I tried to set
vgactlr='0xC0076=Tseng Laboratories, Inc. 10/14/93 V8.00N',
but it failed to avoid panic, although it may concern only with my older
BIOS.
I don't know why/how enabled BIOS shadow co-works with Plan 9, though.
