I have encountered the same problem as you have.
I think you also have to edit /sys/src/cmd/vga/data.c
to add lines similar as the others.
(I have made a new boot/install disk, but not yet tried to use it)

> Added vganvidia.$O\ to pcdisk
Shouldn't you add something like 'vganvidia +cur' to pcdisk (.$O)?
I'm confused about the meaning of the '+cur' and '=cur' that follow
the vga* lines in the confguration files.

Hmm... I did only add the extern Ctrlr statements to vga.h
Did not find vgadb.h

About /lib/vgadb: do we need the link=vga line for the nvidia
controller? I noticed some controller(s?) in the file without
such a line.

Axel.
