I used to use a Dell M70 laptop with a 1920x1200 display. It had an
"Nvidia Quadro FX Go 1400" card which worked just fine with Plan 9.
It's been years since I used it, but I remember I had to boot the laptop
in Linux and dump the modeline out of X somehow. I don't remember the
specifics on how to do that, but then I just pasted it into vgadb and
set the options in plan9.ini and everything worked great.
I doubt it will help anyone, but here are the settings I used:
plan9.ini:
| monitor=dellm70
| vgasize=1920x1200x32
vgadb:
| dellm70=1920x1200x32
| clock=162
| shb=2020 ehb=2108 ht=2160
| vrs=1201 vre=1204 vt=1250
| hsync=+ vsync=+
