Has anyone got a recommendation for a good PCI video card for an x86 plan9
terminal?  Like something that can go to 1280x1024x8, and that plan 9
doesn't have any problems with?  I've got a 2Mb Mach64 card that can do it
with windows drivers, but plan 9 can't use it very well...  And my 1Mb
Mach32 will only go to 1024x768x8, and doesn't work well with my monitor
at that mode....  From looking at the vgadb and the 9/pc sources, it looks
like my best bet is something S3 based... any suggestions on a specific
card that will do the job well onder Plan 9?
