Re: [9fans] Mouse cursor is too large.

You should be able to apply the same cursor fix that
I posted yesterday (adding the pci did to the
switches in /sys/src/9/pc/vgas3.c:/^s3load).
Running "pci" should tell you the PCI did -- the
vid/did that looks like 5333/xxxx is the one you
want.

Getting going in better resolutions is a bit
trickier.

Yes, but maybe not like you might expect. I`ve taken a
short series of picture to show you the changes.

The first picture depicts the mouse cursor just after
bootstrap. Note the two vertical black bars with
horizontal lines in the top left corner of the screen.
See the following link:
http://www.0xfe.org/plan9/1-mouse-after-bootstrap.jpg.

The second picture depicts the mouse cursor while
selecting a menu item. Note the distance between
the cursor and the menu. See the following link:
http://www.0xfe.org/plan9/2-mouse-selecting-menu-item.jpg.

The third picture depicts the mouse cursor while resizing
the window. Note the change in the cursor. The lines are now
vertical. See the following link:
http://www.0xfe.org/plan9/3-mouse-resizing-window.jpg.

The last picture depicts the mouse cursor after resizing
the window. The vertical lines are now gone. See the following
link:
http://www.0xfe.org/plan9/4-mouse-after-resizing-window.jpg.

I hope these pictures help.

Phew, I'm not going crazy.  8904 seems to be the ID for the S3 83C366, but
adding it to vgas3.c doesn't make any difference.

Yep, I always get the correct cursor, it changes when it should, its just that
it is the top-left 16x16 pixels in the 64x64 block of noise.  The remaining
block never changes.  I'm guesing that somewhere there is a registry setting
for a 64x64 hardware cursor, and it was never initialised to all be transparent.

Um, as asci-fied below.  + is the cursor, the spaces are transparent, X is the
black and white noise.

+X X

Re: [9fans] Mouse cursor is too large.

[Russ Cox]

You're right -- there's only one switch in s3load.
There used to be identical redundant ones.  I forgot
that the second got replaced by the dolock variable.

When you move the mouse over a window border,
does the cursor change at all?  (On a system with a
working cursor, the cursor changes to indicate that
you can drag the window border to resize the window.)

I only see one switch in the s3load section. I added the case 0x8D02 to the
switch
and recompiled. The compile went well. After reboot my mouse problem still
persists.
I might have made a mistake by not understanding where to add the second
case
statement. I apologize. I`ll review the file again after getting some rest.
I`ll post
my vgas3.c to http://www.0xfe.org/plan9/vgas3.c.txt as an example of my
changes.

Same problem here with an IBM 300pl, I can remember having problems installing
Xfree on the machine in a previous incarnation.  It has an onboard S3 Trio3D

Under WinXP I can run it to 1600x1200x16bit, the best (and only) mode I can
get in Plan9 is 1024x768x8bit.

I have the normal 16x16 cursor in the top-left sixteenth of a 64x64 blob.

The addition that I had to make to vgadb in order to install and run was:

>        0xC004B="S3 86C366 Video BIOS"  # ajft
	link=vga
	hwgc=s3hwgc
	ctlr=trio64 linear=1
	link=ibm8514

I tried to muddle my way through some docs I had on the Trio3d chips and edit
the driver and only succeded in making things much worse!

Hope this helps.

Re: [9fans] Mouse cursor is too large.

[Russ Cox]

You have to recompile your kernel.

Edit /sys/src/9/pc/vgas3.c to add "case 0x8D02:"
to both switches in s3load.  Then do:

	cd /sys/src/9/pc
	mk 'CONF=pcdisk'

That builds 9pcdisk.  Run

	9fat:
	acme -c1 /n/9fat/plan9.ini

and, right after the bootfile=sdC0!fs!/386/9pcdisk
line, add

	bootfile=sdC0!fs!/sys/src/9/pc/9pcdisk

Then when you boot again, you'll get a choice
of kernel.  If the changed kernel works, you can
then copy /sys/src/9/pc/9pcdisk to /386/9pcdisk
and remove the extra line.

Since my video card wasn`t listed in VGADB on the boot floppy nor within
the lib/vgadb file, I have added the following to both files:

vid=0x5333 did=0x8D02  # ProSavage Twister.

The problem persists after installation. The following was displayed after

Re: [9fans] Mouse cursor is too large.

[Russ Cox]

Your mouse cursor is uninitialized.  After you've
installed, see if the problem persists.  If it does,
then let us know what kind of video card you have
(what does aux/vga -p print?).

Thanks.

Hi,

a bug in the driver.
