I'd reckon you're better off with a less obstructionist piece of
hardware.

Good luck.  I note that the until recently, XFree86 required a special
compilation module to support this particular Intel chip.  Seeing as
hyper-super-duper-3D-FX-graphic capabilities serve little purpose in
the Plan 9 world of today, reserve that particular machine for Windows
or Linux-based games.
