Subject: [9fans] graphics card support
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2004 09:55:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <dd8c4466.0401161118.65cf5aa2@posting.google.com> (raw)
I recently upgraded my aging 32MB NVidia GeForce2 MX, which worked
quite well with Plan 9, to a 128MB NVidia GeForce FX 5200. Now, when
I try booting Plan 9, the card is detected, screen switches to
graphics mode, and I can see the mouse pointer. Then things get
wierd. Groups of little white lines start progressing down the
screen, and rio never starts properly. I've tried several different
resolutions as well as both vga and xga modes to no avail. Anyone
know to get this (and similar) cards to work, or am I out of luck
until an updated NVidia driver is written? Thanks much for your help!
