Looks like an unsupported Rage, in this case it must be a later one.

no, the xpert98 should be working.
perhaps you should try a different monitor setting
or a lower resolution to get going?

I've installed 4th editiion plan9 with an Xpert98. Unfortunately that machine
now has a different video card, so I can't easily use it for testing. I
don't remember what resolution I used, but at least 600x800x8 was working.

The monitor trouble are lots and lots of horizontal distortion at
install diskette bootup. You can see more than five copies of the
installation screen, all of them all set to go and very tempting. The
3rd edition never caused this problem, and naturally I can't find any
copy I ever had of it. Monitor card is ATI Xpert98; it appears on the
Bell Labs "worked on 3rd edition, not tried on 4th" list in the
compatibility writeup. Thanks for the help! Quite a place here!
