Has anybody manage to use a 3dfx banshee PCI card with plan9 ?
I modified the vgadb file to force the use of the voodoo3 driver but it
failed.
I got the following message (dumped in vgainfo.txt):
main->snarf
vga->snarf
3dfx->snarf
sequencer->enter on
sequencer->leave on
3dfx: unknown chip - DID 0003

I have managed to use my Banshee card (Diamond Moster Fusion) with plan9.
I modified kernel and vga sources to add Banshee's device ID as same as
jim's follow-ups.

Yes, it works ;-)
I have put my kernel (9pcdisk), vga command include Banshee support,
and my vgadb file at

I suggest you have a look at: vgadb(6) and vga(8)
I haven't play with the vgadb yet. But I think it might be the problem of
the kernel. Because it might need special driver to contorl the chip set(s).
Good luck

vonstroheim@my-deja.com:
Has anybody manage to use a 3dfx banshee PCI card with plan9 ?
I modified the vgadb file to force the use of the voodoo3 driver but it
failed.
I got the following message (dumped in vgainfo.txt):
main->snarf
vga->snarf
3dfx->snarf
sequencer->enter on
sequencer->leave on
3dfx: unknown chip - DID 0003
I've not tried this as I don't have a Banshee, but I believe it will
work if you add the chip id in the two places it matters, i.e. in both
/sys/src/9/pc/vga3dfx.c and /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/3dfx.c look for all
cases of
case 0x0005: /* Avenger (a.k.a. Voodoo3) */
and add
case 0x0003: /* Banshee */
(make sure tyou get them all, there's motre than one in the kernel
driver).
Let me know if it works and I'll add it into the distribution.
Good luck.
