the installation kernel knows of nvidia, however the p9 distribution
you installed does not.. the message 'unknown controller' is
indicative of aux/vga (the new one you installed) not having nvidia
support..
download the vganvidia.c, nvidia.c and something.h files and do the
following:
just add the nvidia.c and registers.h (forgot the exact name) to
/sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/, edit the mkfile to get nvidia.c to compile,
edit data.c to add nvidia and nvidiahwgc controllers (the Ctlr*
ctlrs[] at the beginning) and you're almost set.. type 'mk install'
in the same directory (disk/kfscmd allow may be required) and you'll
have an aux/vga that speaks nvidia.. restart and mail me privately if
it's still not working (you may have to add support in the kernel too
-- the vganvidia.c file is for that)...

I have a video card using a nvidia chipset. After added a line into the
vgadb, rio start in video and the installation is ok in 1024x768x8...good.
But, when I reboot , I got a message :
vgactl type<nvidia> unknow.
"Bizarre". Nvidia is a know chip for the installation, but not for
the plan9 system itself...
I tried something : I copy the /aux/vga when I boot from the install floppy
and copy it when I boot from the plan9 system and got a new message :
vgactlw type <nvidia> error in system call
It`s sure that I missed something somewhere...but I dont know what..
Pc : x86
video : Asus v3800M
Thanks
