Subject: [9fans] 16:9 display and freeze
Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2012 15:09:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121014130956.GA563@polynum.com> (raw)
Hello,
Since my previous monitor died, I bought a new LCD one with 16:9 ratio,
running under X11 at 1600x900.
Nothing but the monitor has changed. The graphic card has not
changed, it is still a ATI Technologies Radeon 9200SE. My configuration
for Plan9 has not changed either for the video stuff (whether
800x600 or 1024x768, I will have to check; but the monitor "auto
adapts" so some discrepancy between what the monitor and the card
agree to use and the size of the software buffer is not impossible).
When testing a new get_mk_install.rc and compilation for kerTeX,
a couple of seconds after switching to scroll mode (for kerTeX
compilation) under Plan9 (native), the machine froze hard. I had
to cold reboot, since simply rebooting, the BIOS had problems:
something has been trashed.
Had anyone already encountered such behavior? Hints about the
"whodunit"? And a cure?
TIA
