Subject: [9fans] Installation: A new ATI mach64 vgadb entry, video trouble
Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2000 10:12:34 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <39424CD2.666B9A12@worldchat.com> (raw)
Hello,
I have tried to install Plan9 on 3 PCs, 2 of the installs had different
problems with video chipset (both different versions of ATI Mach 64),
one PC did not boot ("incorrect boot syntax" - after showing some
scribbly characters first)
The 2 video cards observations:
1.
I got one of the ATI Mach 64's finally working, I ran "DOS debug" and
found the following MACH64 setting
0xC00E9="MACH64VTPCIU" # my Mach 64 on AMD
system
When I add it to "vgadb", the install works(at least as far as switching
to "rio"
Should stuff like this be send to 9trouble@plan9.bell-labs.com so they
can add it to the distribution?
2.
My other (newer) Mach 64 is recognized as "MACH64CTPCIU", but when
trying to start the vga, I get a message:
aux/vga: mach64xx: no linear aperture aux/vga:....
and later:
rio:54:suicide:trap:failure read addr=0x18 pc=0x00011e7e
I tried to play with the linear= setting in the vgadb, but no luck....
Milan
