Re: [9fans] Video and mouse problems

[Paul Lalonde <plalonde@telus.net>]

More of an update: If I had to guess, I'd say the nvidia driver changed, 
and that the change broke support my on-board geforce mx.  In 
particular, video modes and hardware cursor position updates.

Does anyone have an older driver lying around I can try?  Where can I 
find out when changes were made to /sys/src/9/pc/vganvidia.c and get old 
versions? 

If only I'd had my venti up and running...

Thanks,
    Paul
