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: aux/vga: controller not in /lib/vgadb 0xC0000 55 AA 40 EB 7B 1E FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 U.@.{........... 0xC0010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 01 00 00 00 00 49 42 ........ ......IB 0xC0020 4D 00 F0 7B 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 M..{............ 0xC0030 20 37 36 31 32 39 35 35 32 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 761295520...... 0xC0040 33 31 00 20 00 00 00 00 FC 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 31. ............. 0xC0050 31 39 39 35 2F 34 2F 35 20 31 30 3A 35 36 00 00 1995/4/5 10:56.. 0xC0060 00 00 00 00 E9 28 51 00 E9 1D 51 00 E9 19 10 00 ......(Q...Q..... 0xC0070 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................. 0xC0080 E9 B5 00 0D 0A 41 54 49 20 4D 41 43 48 36 34 2C .....ATI MACH64, 0xC0090 20 50 43 49 20 42 49 4F 53 20 50 2F 4E 20 31 31 PCI BIOS P/N 11 0xC00A0 33 2D 32 35 35 33 35 2D 31 30 30 20 0D 0A 00 28 3-25535-100 ....( 0xC00B0 43 29 20 31 39 38 38 2D 39 35 2C 20 41 54 49 20 C) 1988-95, ATI 0xC00C0 54 65 63 68 6E 6F 6C 6F 67 69 65 73 20 49 6E 63 Technologies Inc 0xC00D0 2E 42 4B 33 2E 35 2F 31 2E 30 32 31 4D 41 43 48 ..BK3.5/1.021MACH 0xC00E0 36 34 47 58 50 43 49 55 59 4D 4D 31 30 30 2D 32 64GXPCIUYMM100-2 0xC00F0 39 32 30 30 2D 30 30 20 00 00 22 00 00 A0 01 15 9200-00 ..."..... main->snarf vga->snarf vga->dump vga misc 67 vga feature 00 vga sequencer 03 00 03 00 02 vga crt 5F 4F 50 82 55 81 BF 1F - 00 4F 0D 0E 00 00 05 A0 9C 8E 8F 28 1F 96 B9 A3 - FF vga graphics 00 00 00 00 00 10 0E 00 - FF vga attribute 00 01 02 03 04 05 14 07 - 38 39 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 3F 0C 00 0F 08 00 vga apz 0 vga linear 0 vmf 25175000 vmdf 0 vf1 0 vbw 0 vga->init dbdumpmode type=vga, size=640x480x1 frequency=25175000 x=640 (0x280), y=480 (0x1E0), z=1 (0x1) ht=800 (0x320), shb=664 (0x298), ehb=760 (0x2F8) shs=664 (0x298), ehs=760 (0x2F8) vt=525 (0x20D), vrs=491 (0x1EB), vre=493 (0x1ED) hsync=0, vsync=0, interlace=0 vga->dump vga flag Fdump|Finit|Fsnarf vga misc E3 vga feature 00 vga sequencer 03 01 0F 00 06 vga crt 5F 4F 52 9F 53 1F20B 3E - 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 1EB 2D1DF 28 001EB1EC C3 -7FF vga graphics 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 0F - FF vga attribute 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 - 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 01 FF 0F 00 00 vga apz 0 vga linear 0 main->exits My plan9.ini file is: *nomp=1 distname=plan9 partition=new monitor=multisync75 vgasize=640x480x8 mouseport=ps2 bootargs=local!#f0/fd0disk bootfile=fd0!dos!9pcflop.gz Any ideas how to get the VGA working.
