Subject: [9fans] ATI Radeon 9600 SE and Plan 9

Hi all,

I presume that the newsgroup "comp.os.plan9" isnt' piped into this list,
so, once again..

I've installed Philippe Anel's Radeon drivers, just to find me sitting
behind a dark monitor.
Now I have to say: I don't see my 9600 SE mentioned anywhere, and I'm
willing to accept that my attempt was in vain, BUT, I hope it isn't..

What did I do? I installed the additions (of March 22nd last year) and
recompiled my kernel and the "vga" command, installed the kernel in /386
and /n/9fat, and "vga" using "mk install" in /bin/aux.
Now, my card wasn't recognized, so I read through a bit of the vgadb
manpage, and hacked the line 0xC0090="600SE" into /lib/vgadb.
Now, it is recognized, presumably ;), because in stead of something like a
message that my card isn't in the vgadb, I get a blank screen..
"Darn"..

So, is there any chance that I can get this to work?

Regards,

  Bob

PS. I'm new to Plan 9, so, please be patient :)
