i could be wrong, but i suspect a table in /sys/src/9/pc/vgamach64xx.c
and one or more switch statements in /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/mach64xx.c
will also need to have the ('G'<<8)|'R' case added for the device to work.

and it still might not work.  i had bad luck with one supposed xpert98 oem
model but others worked.

still, i've built a new install diskette, which might work.  i'll send you details
by email.
