Re: CGA instead of VGA

2000-02-20 Thread Kazutaka YOKOTA 


On -current my VGA card is being used as a CGA card. It is correctly
recognized as a VGA:

vga-pci0: S3 Trio graphics accelerator mem 0xf800-0xfbff irq 11 at d
evice 15.0 on pci0

The above message simply means that a PCI card classified as VGA is
found.  This does not necessarily means that the card can be used as
VGA.  

vga0: Generic ISA VGA at port 0x3d0-0x3db iomem 0xb8000-0xb on isa0

but then used as a CGA:

sc0: CGA 16 virtual consoles, flags=0x200

The BIOS setup menu usually has an entry to specify the type of the
installed video card.  If this item is set to CGA, the BIOS and the
vga driver will initialize the card, even if it is a VGA, as the CGA
card.  Are you sure that this doesn't happen to be the case with
your system?

The problem is, that I can't set fonts:

# vidcontrol /dev/ttyv0 -f 8x16 iso02-8x16
vidcontrol: can't load font: Device not configured

If the card is recognized as CGA, you cannot load font or switch
video modes.

I vaguely remember seing a commit from Kazu that supposedly fixed this,
although I still experience it with a -current machine as of a couple of
days ago.

That commit fixed the problem where the vga driver wrongly thought the
card is CGA when the BIOS DOES initialize the card as VGA.  If the
BIOS initialize the card as CGA, the vga driver is still led to believe
the card is CGA.  (And I believe that is the reasonable behavior.)

The motherboard is an Intel AN430TX, the graphics card is a S3 Trio 64V+
based card. Below is the full dmesg.

My BIOS does not have this entry. I can only select if this is a PnP
operating system. I have set it to "no" because if I select "yes" my PCI
NE-2000 network card is not recognized because the BIOS does not assign
resources to it (I was told on this list that FreeBSD is not yet a full
PnP system in this sense). If I set PnP to "yes" the card is correctly
recognized as a VGA card.

 That commit fixed the problem where the vga driver wrongly thought the
 card is CGA when the BIOS DOES initialize the card as VGA.  If the
 BIOS initialize the card as CGA, the vga driver is still led to believe
 the card is CGA.  (And I believe that is the reasonable behavior.)

So how can I force the card to VGA in my situation? :) I have flashed the
latest BIOS into the motherboard and I still can't find any setting
mentioning CGA or VGA. More info about the motherboard can be found here:
