On one of the machines running plan9 (P133, Matrox Millennium VGA/VBE BIOS
V2.2)
rio's pointer arrow races from the top of the screen to the bottom as if
the mouse is being dragged down rapidly. This is a continuos cycle. This
visual artifact does not seem to have any effect on rio's idea of where the
pointer is; Also the racing effects the vertical position of the pointer only.
It didn't cause any problems during the install.

P.S. I set this card to use the same entry as the "Matrox/Millennium VGA/VBE
BIOS (V2.5)" in vgadb.

I have had the same problem on one of our systems at CMU; the Labs
people don't seem to have adequate documentation for this card. I
haven't had time to look at how XFree86 handles the unit, but that's
one place we could start.
