Subject: [9fans] SiS630, buying a Plan 9 laptop

I am going to buy a laptop and I would like it to be supported.  I
have seen one I like (and is cheap), but haven't been able to run rio
on it (the look of the man on the shop as I edited wrote down the dump
and edited the vgadb was really awkward). The dump of the video memory
is nonsense (the only thing readable is something "IBM COMPATIBLE"),
but I know it has a SiS630 chipset and with:

	link=vga
	hwgc=s3hwgc
	ramdac=sc15025-80
	link=s3clock clock=ch9294-g
	ctlr=s3805 link=ibm8514

this configuration (I tried them all just in case) it starts rio, but
it is reflected three times and really distorted (not readable at all).

Is there any support for the SiS630 chipset? at all. Any plans for it?.
