Subject: Typo in vgadb ?
Date: Tue, 14 Nov 1995 03:52:36 -0500

Hi,

I found an entry '0xE0039="CL-GD540x/542x VGA BIOS" in vgadb. 
With debug, I found the address should be at 0xC0039 (in my 486 
at least.) Is it a typo?

I can set the display up to 800x600x1. Would it be the reason why 
I cannot set the depth to 8 bits? I had tried changing the entry in
vgadb before I install Plan9, but it couldn't solve the problem.
Setting to 640x480x8 still gives me a b/w window system. Any 
suggestion or solution?
