Message-ID: <ACCF003CBA3D09458207DB0CB86AD17D124C76@XMAIL.asuch.cas.cz> (raw)
when you now boot from cd and select "Try out Plan 9 from CD" (or like)
do you get into graphics regime, or not? Did you login as 'glenda' for the first time?
(I'm eternal 9-newbie, so I just guess...)
cross fingers, and don't give up!
++pac.

Subject: [9fans] [absolute newbie] Problems with Riva TNT
I am having the same problems as someone else had in the thread [9fans] Nvidia TNT troubles. But, I only just started using plan 9 right now, so I have absolutely no idea what I am doing :(.
I installed directly from cd, without using a boot floppy, the only thing that I had to do was change the boot path. The graphical interface loaded fine when I was doing the install, but when I first boot the system and login I get this:
aux/vga: nvidia: segattach nvidiammio, size 16777216: bad arg in system
(that was typed in by hand, so might not be exact)
Is there a way that I can get this working without recompiling the kernel, since I have no idea how to do that yet.
Or, if that part is easy, where do I get the latest vganvidia from?
I can't even get the text editor to load, is this because of the above problem?
I will be grateful for any assistance you can give me
Richard Hunt
My computer:
plan9 installed on /dev/hda3, booting with lilo (no problems with
this)
linux installed on /dev/hda[56]
broken windows install on /dev/hda1 (I think the plan9 install was responsible for breaking this - or at least my use of the plan 9 installer :)
AMD K6/2 400
64Mb ram
NVIDIA Riva TNT 16Mb (It's a creative graphics blaster)
Aureal vortex sound card (I assume there will be no support for this?) 16x generic dvd drive 3.5" floppy drive 56k generic modem - but I have no internet connection, so I can't do any direct installs from the internet. I do have access to the internet and cd burners on university computers, however.
I have five years experience with linux, including setting up kernels etc, if this will be any use to me.
