Subject: [9fans] I need help with ViRGE based video card
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 11:20:49 -0400 (EDT)

I have an updated vgadb with an entry for the card I'm trying to use, a Diamond
Stealth 3D 2000 vers. 1.04 and I have what I think is a recent virge.c. I have c
ompiled the virge.c and yet I still cannot get the card to work in any res > 640x480x1. It is connected to a Sun 17" monitor, but I have left monitor=vga 
in my plan9.ini. Could that be the source of my problem. Do I need to do 
anything special once I compile virge.c to get the new code to work? Perhaps 
I do not have the correct version of virge.c as I know that there are a ton of 
S3 ViRGE chipsets. If anybody has a newer version or ideas as to what is wrong 
I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
