Hello guys,
I'm a plan9 newbie and installed it on one of my computers yesterday.
But I'm kinda stuck with setting the resolution for my monitor. I have
a Samsung SyncMaster 701n (TFT) but can't get beyond 800x600 for some
reason. When I try to set the resolution to anything higher the
monitor goes black and displays:
Not Optimum Mode
Recommended Mode:
1280x1024 60Hz

I even added an entry in /lib/vgadb to fit my monitors needs, alas
without success.
This is what I added to it (I got the data by running xvidtune in a
freebsd live cd):
sm701n=1280x1024
        clock=135.00
        shb=1296 ehb=1440 ht=1688
        vrs=1025 vre=1028 vt=1066
        hsync=+ vsync=+

That, as I said above, didn't work with plan9.

Could it be something with my graphics card maybe (it's onboard)?
I hope someone can give me a hint :)
