You're just watching the charge decay. Geforce 2 Gos use the second CRTC and RAMDAC for the screen as the silicon is specialised to drive flat panels. This is what makes Gos different from normal dual head nvidia chips. Plan 9 programs CRTC/RAMDAC pair 1.If you connect a vdu to the external VGA connector you will most probably see a picture. You need all the hacks I did to make my Inspiron 4100 work. Unfortunately, that's still 3rd edition. I don't have a date yet when I shall be converting the laptop to 4th edition, and won't be doing any hacks before then. You are welcome to the aux/vga code as it was when I got the 4100 working. There is great similarity between it and the 4th edition code, but you will not be able to escape having to understand the nvidia driver, which is done by reading he Xfree86 4 source as 'documentation'. --upas-isekqudfeeofatgszkbrvvrltv Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from 9fs.org ([192.168.100.103]) by 9fs.org; Sun Jun 23 00:39:38 BST 2002 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by 9fs.org; Sun Jun 23 00:39:37 BST 2002 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.23.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 832A7199D5; Sat, 22 Jun 2002 19:39:28 -0400 (EDT) Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: from cassius.ee.usyd.edu.au (cassius.ee.usyd.edu.au [129.78.13.49]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 9989619A33 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Sat, 22 Jun 2002 19:38:32 -0400 (EDT) Received: from merlot.ee.usyd.edu.au (merlot.ee.usyd.EDU.AU [129.78.13.150]) by cassius.ee.usyd.edu.au (8.10.2+Sun/8.9.3) with ESMTP id g5MNcUH06351 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Sun, 23 Jun 2002 09:38:30 +1000 (EST) Message-Id: <200206222338.g5MNcUH06351@cassius.ee.usyd.edu.au> To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu From: Noel Hunt Subject: Re: [9fans] nvidia geforce 2 go 100 In-reply-to: Your message of "Sat, 22 Jun 2002 12:22:52 CST." <20020622121859.L17925-100000@fbsd.acl.lanl.gov> Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: Sun, 23 Jun 2002 09:37:50 +1000 Thanks for your reply. The card is recognized (I think) since I don't get the `no frame buffer' message but the display starts doing weird things when rio is starting (pixels go white in a blotchy display...I haven't let it run till any errors are generated). I'll have a look at the vgadb configuration. Thanks. Unless you think yours might be useful. If so, I would like to try that. Noel Hunt --upas-isekqudfeeofatgszkbrvvrltv--
