You can use that instead of xga. vgasize of 1024x768x8 should work, perhaps bigger if your laptop supports that. hth --upas-ogamndpizshaezqgebiuvnhoax Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by aquamar; Tue Oct 28 19:35:40 MET 2003 Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id 6C82419BD4; Tue, 28 Oct 2003 13:35:32 -0500 (EST) Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.18.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id A28471999B; Tue, 28 Oct 2003 13:35:22 -0500 (EST) X-Original-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id A8B701999B; Tue, 28 Oct 2003 13:34:13 -0500 (EST) Received: from Mail.Math.Princeton.EDU (mail.math.Princeton.EDU [128.112.18.14]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 9435E199D8 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Tue, 28 Oct 2003 13:34:01 -0500 (EST) Received: from math.Princeton.EDU (math.Princeton.EDU [128.112.18.16]) by Mail.Math.Princeton.EDU (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id h9SIY0pK006538 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA bits=168 verify=NOT) for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Tue, 28 Oct 2003 13:34:00 -0500 Received: from math.Princeton.EDU (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by math.Princeton.EDU (8.12.10/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h9SIY0nM022392 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Tue, 28 Oct 2003 13:34:00 -0500 Message-Id: <200310281834.h9SIY0nM022392@math.Princeton.EDU> To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu From: John Stalker Subject: [9fans] T23 vga 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: Tue, 28 Oct 2003 13:34:00 -0500 X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=5.0 tests=none version=2.55 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.55 (1.174.2.19-2003-05-19-exp) My new T23 arrived. I installed plan9 without problems and then pulled the latest sources. Now I am trying to get a decent screen resolution. I put a menu in plan9.ini to allow me to choose from 1) vgasize=640x480x8: This works, of course, but is annoying. 2) vgasize=800x600x8: This has a weird speckled appearance, but it is tolerable for about 5 minutes. 3) vgasize=1024x768x8: This causes the screen to behave very strangely. Nothing is legible. all of these are with monitor=xga. I assume the rest of plan9.ini is not relevant. I can post the rest if anyone cares. /lib/vgadb is whatever was on sources. I didn't change anything. Does anyone with a T23 have any suggestions? Thanks, John -- John Stalker Department of Mathematics Princeton University (609)258-6469 --upas-ogamndpizshaezqgebiuvnhoax--
