Hi, 9fans!

I have installed Plan9 on my IBM ThinkPad T40 and it works fine with vesa
and wired networking.
But I can't compile Philippe Anel's radeon driver.

<----------------------------------------------->
term%% mk 'CONF=pcf'
8c -FVw vgaradeon.c
vgaradeon.c:274 not a member of struct/union: aperture
vgaradeon.c:276 not a member of struct/union: isupamem...

Hello,

I used to work on this driver, but these last days/months(years?), I
hadn't enough time to work on it. However, I
think I can help you here. I'll send you my latest vgaradeon.c tomorrow.
I hope the current aux/vga part is working with your card.

Regards,
Phil.

Ok. I'll be waiting for it. Thanks!

It seems, radeon.c in aux/vga can't be compiled too:
<----------------------------------------------->
8c -FVw radeon.c
radeon.c:393 incompatible types: "ULONG" and "IND VOID" for op "AS"
warning: radeon.c:357 used and not set: mmio
mk: 8c -FVw radeon.c : exit status=rc 857: 8c 859: error
<----------------------------------------------->

I think, it can be fixed by changing type of mmio from "ulong" to "ulong*".
To tell the truth, I don't quite understand how it could be compiled early.

Hello,

You can download the following required files :

http://xigh.free.fr/radeon.c -> /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga
http://xigh.free.fr/radeon.h -> /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga

http://xigh.free.fr/vgaradeon.c -> /sys/src/9/pc

http://xigh.free.fr/vgadb -> merge with /lib/vgadb

Please note I couldn't test if this version fully works. Indeed the only
Radeon chipset I have (for the moment) is in my laptop (XPress 200M)
and I know for sure it doesn't work (I planned to work on the driver
but for lack of time, I couldn't). So ... pay carreful attention with these
files (and your computer).

Regards,
Phil;

I suspect that may change now that AMD is buying ATI.

the grass is always greener! having spent quite a bit of time trying
to get nvidia's nforce 430 chipset with integrated graphics working,
so far with no success, i'm pretty sure that nvidia's documentation
is similar to ati's -- read the xfree86 driver. unfortunately in the case
of the nvidia driver, there are several real bugs in the xf86 driver (like
stuffing a 0x480 into an 8-bit register with one bit of overflow and
stuffing 0x100 into a different 8-bit register with no overflow.)

by the way, i am having some trouble with the virge driver that seems
to have cropped up lately

the 1019 aux/vga gives the error "virge: pclk 79000000 out of range".
the vid/did are 5333/5631. i'll attach aux/vga -p.

i scanned the source code changes but nothing jumped out at me.

Hi!

That is pity, but it doesn't work :-(.
I have got a "chatoyant" screen with a disappearing kernel output.
The system doesn't react to any commands and I can only poweroff the
laptop.
I'm going to try to get some logs from aux/vga.
