It depends on your boot floppy's file, called vgadb.

The part of nvidia card of mine is as follows:

ctlr
	0xC00A2="NVIDIA TNT2 Model 64 BIOS V2.05.13 "	# NVIDIA TNT Model 64
	0xC0108="AOpen MX200 VGA BIOS Version 1.00-143N"	# AOpen MX200 Geforce2
	0xC0108="NVIDIA GeForce2 MX-200 VGA BIOS"	# Prographics GeForce2 MX-200
	0xC00CB="ASUS AGP-V7100 VGA BIOS Version 3.11.00.04" # ASUS GeForce2MX
	0xC0074="NV"			# GeForce 3
	link=vga
	ctlr=nvidia linear=1
	hwgc=nvidiahwgc


You can edit that file before booting the system by some editer on Unix or
windows.

Hi

I am upgrading my PC and since i don't want to 'miss' plan9, exactly which
nvidia cards are supported?

The hardware requirements page says there is good support only for savage4
an riva TNT2. Also in the same page there is a note that GeForce in not
supported but in this list some report that it worked fine on GeForce2 MX.

Can someone give a definite answer?

Thanks
Spyros
