My new T23 arrived. I installed plan9 without problems and
then pulled the latest sources. Now I am trying to get a
decent screen resolution. I put a menu in plan9.ini
to allow me to choose from
1) vgasize=640x480x8: This works, of course, but is
annoying.
2) vgasize=800x600x8: This has a weird speckled
appearance, but it is tolerable for about 5 minutes.
3) vgasize=1024x768x8: This causes the screen to
behave very strangely. Nothing is legible.
all of these are with monitor=xga. I assume the rest of
plan9.ini is not relevant. I can post the rest if anyone
cares. /lib/vgadb is whatever was on sources. I didn't
change anything. Does anyone with a T23 have any suggestions?
Thanks,
John

try using monitor=t23, and also use 1024x768x16. it looks much better.
(of course if your screen is 1400x1050 use 1400x1050x16,
but i'm assuming you'd have mentioned that.)

AFAIK, you have a t23 monitor declared in the db. You
can use that instead of xga.
vgasize of 1024x768x8 should work, perhaps bigger
if your laptop supports that.

what is the actual size of your screen in pixels? Mine is really 1024x768x8. Sounds like
yours might be a 1440 width screen.

The specs from the reseller were 1280x1024, but they may not really know.
I haven't tried anything above 1024x768 on any operating system, though.
Amusingly Windows2000--since I was forced to pay for it I thought I might
as well keep it--is currently only working at 800x600x8. XFree86 does
1024x768x24 without complaints, since I edited the bizarre XF86Config
that xf86cfg gave me.

Thanks, monitor=t23 and vgasize=1024x768x16 works fine.

By the way, I use monitor=t23 rather than monitor=xga.
