[9fans] Mach64 Problem

[9fans] Mach64 Problem

[Thomas Mandl]

Hi List,

i just started to install my Plan9 distribution July 29th 2000) and ran
into troubles with my VGA. I browsed through comp.os.plan9 and saw
several entries related to my problem. Can you help?

The VGA is a ATI Mach64 Graphics Pro Turbo (PCI). I tried with a Compaq
S3 Virge/GX PCI V1.92 first but this card also does not work.

Here's the dump from VGAINFO.TXT for the Mach64 card:

Any ideas how to get the VGA working.  Which cards work out of the box?
Many thanks for your help
