[9fans] Installation problem: aux/vga can't handle ATI Rage II

[9fans] Installation problem: aux/vga can't handle ATI Rage II

[Shamim Mohamed]

Greetings, all!

I'm trying to bring up Plan 9 on an intel PC. It has an "ATI 3D Rage II"
video card according to the information printed by Windows. It says
the chip type is "ATI 3D RAGE IIC (GT-B3U1)" and the DAC type is
"ATI Internal DAC"; it has 4 MB.  It looks like it recognises the video
card but then something goes horribly wrong.

Here's the  plan9.ini:


*nomp=1
distname=plan9
ether0=type=elnk3
monitor=p815
mouseport=ps2
audio0=type=sb16
bootargs=local!#f0/fd0disk
bootfile=fd0!dos!9pcflop.gz
installurl=http://204.178.31.2/magic/9down/compressed/960922775.cta2mgqjhd3byttiju4xkcmmth6a5zz6
