hi, 

         I'm trying to install plan9 on a PIII with built-in 815 

graphics. After booting from the installtion floppy, aux/vga dumps the 

some bios area to the screen and drops me to a shell. I assume that this 
is
because 815 graphics is not supported. is there any work around for 
this?
 

i checked the vgadb file in the boot floppy. it has no entries for 815. 
i
tried adding a ctlr entry with my bios strings and an nvidia driver. but 

it [ obviously ;-) ] said "bad arg  in system call". how shall I proceed 
?
 

thanks in advance, 

kannan

One can usually disable the on-chip graphics (and sound)
and plug third-party cards into the bus slots.

i don't think we support the i815.
i seem to recall someone saying here (on 9fans)
that they were going to write a driver,
but i don't know how far that got.
