Hi again all,

I have a problem getting Plan 9 to work with my Matrox Millennium graphics card. It has the mga2064 chip, with BIOS revision 2.3, which unfortunately isn't defined in the vgadb.
Has anyone ever used this card with Plan 9  ie. is there a patch/add-on somewhere?

Assuming there isn't, what would it take to add this card? Does it involve tweaking a few addresses here and there in some source file, or is it a major porting effort? If it's not too outrageous, I'd
like to try and get my Millennium to work.

Thanks,

Gerald
