Hello, folks--
Well, I am making another attempt to install Plan9. This time the
machine is a vintage IBM PC, and the video card is some sort of ATI Mach
64 PCI model (bought it used, so I don't have documentation for it ...
suppose I can pull it out and look up the FCC ID if necessary). For a
monitor, I'm using an AOC Spectrum 5E (identified as Generic 65 Mhz in
plan9.ini, which I think is correct). Anyway, when I start up with the
installation floppy, it goes through the loading sequence and starts up
VGA, but with a twist:
... let's see if I can describe this ...
VGA is clearly "working," and 2 or 3 windows are visible: a--is "virtual
terminal" the right name?--an XTerm-like thingie, and something labeled
"gnot" with several colored bars, BUT:
the display is broken up into several vertical bands: if you can imagine
taking a screenshot, making 4 or 5 copies, then cropping each one to a
narrow vertical slice, with each slice starting slightly to the right of
the previous one, then laying them out side by side with a 4-6-pixel
dark stripe in between ... that's what it looks like.
I should add that I've tried different video modes: 1024x768@16bpp,
1024x768@8bpp, 800x600@16bpp ... same thing happens regardless. Has
anyone seen a phenomenon like this? I'm attaching my 'vgainfo.txt' and
'pci.txt' in case they are useful.
I suppose I could try the built-in video card, but it's an S3 Trio64V+,
and I see that's on the "not tested with this version" list. Anyway, I'd
appreciate any suggestions you have.

I know exactly what your screen looks like.
Unfortunately, this sort of thing means the
memory timings aren't quite correct w.r.t.
the video timings, and I don't remember how
to go about fixing it. It usually requires
futzing with the driver. I hate the ATI Mach64
series. They require way too many weird
calculations and we never got them right.
You might have better luck with the Trio64V+
(or you might not, but it's worth trying).
Those at least never gave me that weird striped
effect.
Another possibility is that you're running the
monitor at too high a frequency, though if it
fails at 640x480 then that's not the case (we
use a standard frequency for 640x480).

OK, I pulled out the ATI card and am now trying with the S3 ... and I'm
happy to say that it's working! Well, more or less. Actually, I
specified 800x600x8 in plan9.ini, and my actual display is squashed
horizontally so that it's more like 600x600. So I hope there's a way to
fix this, but it's at least usable for the time being.

In case anyone was going to worry about this, don't. I remembered the
row of buttons on the bottom of my monitor. It's fixed.
