About as sure as one could be without physically inspecting the card. The specs from Toshiba say that's what it is*; there was also a time a few years ago when the XFree86 developers were having trouble with the driver for this card, and I did a register dump for them; they seemed to think it was the right stuff. But as I suggested, there's something weird about the way it's set up on this machine, so that XFree86 configuration tools just don't work. One thing that caught my eye as I was sending an earlier message: the XF86Config had Option "sw_cursor" and I think that may have been required in order to get X working (other than FontPath settings, I haven't touched that config for over 5 years, so I'm not sure). Of course, I have no idea if that's relevant to Plan9. * I bought the computer in Japan, but I couldn't find specs for it at Toshiba's Japanese Web site, so I got them from the US site. It's the same model number, but I suppose it's conceivable that the US and Japanese models used different components. -- Matt Gushee When a nation follows the Way, Englewood, Colorado, USA Horses bear manure through mgushee@havenrock.com its fields; http://www.havenrock.com/ When a nation ignores the Way, Horses bear soldiers through its streets. --Lao Tzu (Peter Merel, trans.)
