did you comment out the 'monitor=' line in plan9.ini?

I did that, but after booting it began trying to switch to the
graphics mode in endless loop. Of course I could not
run "aux/vga -p>somefile". Sorry, I'm not familiar with the
system at all ... Any advise how can I run it after all?

I tried also without 'monitor=vga' line in plan9.ini, the same
result (still switching modes in endless loop) except that
in "vgainfo.txt" 2 lines changed:

from:
"mach64xx pci 2e4c8 regtable pciregs io ec00 portio"
to:
"mach64xx pci 2e4a8 regtable pciregs io ec00 portio"

and from:
"mach64xx VlineCrntVline      011903FF"
to:
"mach64xx VlineCrntVline      018303FF"

Hope this means something to you ...

There should be a file "vgainfo.txt" on your

Please add the following to the MACH64 section in /lib/vgadb
	0xC0000-0xC0200="MACH64VV"
then run aux/vga -p>somefile and mail me 'somefile'. This is
a chip revision we've not seen before, the chances are good
it will work but we need to see a little more of the chip information
before adding in a fix. Thanks.

Greetings all!
It seems that my particular card is not supported. Can somebody
please tell me if I should add something to the VGADB file or is
there no hope at all? Here is the description for the card from
windows display settings:
