apparently alliance semiconductor no longer manufactures graphics
cards (according to their web page). they provide linux (and SCO!)
drivers for this particular card, but since the download file is in
.exe format i can't see whether the chipset used is supported or
not...
www.alsc.com/support/at24.htm
i also find http://www.yourvote.com/pci/ useful -- it has the device
and vendor id for most (all?) pci devices. useful for matching
unknown hardware.

(it's a pci card).
So far I don't know what I'm doing - and I have great
respect for those who understand (vga) drivers,
I may have a look at the xfree86 source, once I again
have a fs that works...
(but probably 'real work' has to get top priority by that time)
Thanks,
Axel.

it's not supported.
if you knew what you were doing it doesn't look hard if the
xfree86 source is anything to go by.

Boot an install disk (you can just comment out
the vgasize= and monitor= in plan9.ini) and
run /bin/pci. That's the best way to tell.
(Or is it an ISA card?)

Does anyone know whether this vga card is (or is not) supported?
If so, what controller, etc.?
The main chip has the following text
(which doesn't mean a thing to me,
and doesn't seem to show up in vgadb):
alliance semiconductor
ProMotion(r) aT24
(c)(m) 1995
M2760C
The bios chip (or so I assume) contains a label:
Stealth Video
2500
DIAMOND
(c)1996
V1.03
Thanks,
Axel.
