Currently there's no support for the GeForce cards,
nor is there a "generic" driver.  Could be a possibility
in a few months.  Sorry.

I do. Just configure it with the proper irq/address when creating the boot
floppy on the bell-labs website.

[9fans] Crazy idea but why not?

[Alex DeLarge]

I'm trying to install Plan9 on my main machine, which uses a GeForce256 SDR
Graphics card, but AFAIK the chipset isn't supported. Does anyone know of a
standard framebuffer driver for the plan9 installer so I can sort out my
vgadb? Enclosed is my vgainfo.txt:

Thanks ever so much for your help - failing that, has anyone got an NE2000
card working on Plan9?
