Re: [9fans] ndb cluelessness & VGA trouble :)

[jmk]

The example I gave in the previous message was for /sys/src/9/pc/vga3dfx.c.
The equivalent in /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/3dfx.c is

		case 0x0003:		/* Banshee */
			vga->f[1] = 270000000;
			break;
		case 0x0005:		/* Avenger (a.k.a. Voodoo3) */
			vga->f[1] = 300000000;
			break;
		case 0x0009:		/* Voodoo5 */
			vga->f[1] = 350000000;
			break;

Re: [9fans] voodoo 5 5500 works (ish)

I added the 0x0009 to 3dfx.c in 9/pc and cmd/aux and got a display

no mouse cursor

and it's slightly shimmery but that looks like refresh rate related

I'll persevere tomorrow

I think if you add a new case to both /sys/src/9/pc/vga3dfx.c and
/sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/3dfx.c at the appropriate spot, i.e.

		case 0x0003:		/* Banshee */
		case 0x0005:		/* Avenger (a.k.a. Voodoo3) */
		case 0x0009:		/* Voodoo5 */

it has a good chance of working.

Trying to set a cpu/auth server

I'm behind a NAT box.
My external hostname is pc1-nott2-3-cust35.not.cable.ntl.com
but that is subject to change with DHCP renewals

I'm a bit stuck with choosing a correct authdom. All the examples I've seen
have reversable internet domain names.
Also is this tied to dns domain?

extra points for getting my ati rage 2C to do erasing. xor highlighting
works in acme but I get one screen of shell and then it overwites like a
teletype
It worked fine yesterday in 3rd Ed.*AND* in the install :(

This is the same problem  Berlin Brown reported on 28 Jun.
