I believe my friend was refering along the lines of creating an
abstraction layer that would allow for linux graphic drivers to be
used with Plan 9. I could be mistaken.

If so, I'm not necessarily advocating that idea. It is apparent that
Plan 9 lacks support for many video cards. I suppose what my friend is
 really saying to me is that there has to be an easier way to provide
graphic driver support.

My friend is an Economist, so his thinking might go along the lines of
doing something with the least effort and producing maximum gain.  I
apologize if this obfuscates the earlier question.
