	prompt.  /tmp/x contains:

		tag =3D Tnone; expected Tfile

	I tried fiddling with the entry for the PowerGraph X-24 in /lib/vgadb, su=
	ch as
	commenting out the lines following "link=3Dvga".  No help.  I also change=
	d the
	BIOS ID string, to make sure vga(8) was actually recognizing my card.  It=
	 is.

1) i don't understand the error in /tmp/x, it's nothing to do with aux/vga, try
   running ramfs first;
2) i don't understand the reference to "link=3Dvga", you haven't been fiddling
   with aux/vga without a licence have you?

my understanding here is that you have a supported vga card but an unsupported monitor.
using the line "monitor=vga" in plan9.ini and the distributed /lib/vgadb should work
for resolutions of 640x480x[18] and 800x600x[18].
then you need to either find a suitable entry in the monitor section of /lib/vgadb
(one of the 'multisync... entries) or craft one yourself.
