Hello 9fans.
I just installed plan9 on one of my machines, but it seems like my video
card it's not supported.
Linux says:
$ lspci |grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage II+
215GTB [Mach64 GTB] (rev 9a)
>From a little research that I did before installing plan9, I was kinda
sure that all the Mach64 card are supported.
In the installation it didn't bring "rio" up, instead it gave me an
error; "no frame buffer", so I decided to make the textonly installation
and then try to solve the video issue.
So I finished the installation and here I am, trying to find out if I
can make this video card to work on plan9, and asking if someone had
solved this already.
I searched the mailing this archive and found this:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=9t1b3q%24crc%241%40newpoisson.nosc.mil&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dplan9%2B%2Bmach64%2Bgtb%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D9t1b3q%2524crc%25241%2540newpoisson.nosc.mil%26rnum%3D1
I think that is the same problem that I have, is there any success?
Any help would be appreciated.
Shay.

Any ideas? maybe there's something to be changed/added to the driver/vgadb file? Thanks.
