I had a great plan9 term going on a 7770DMT, which is probably
very similar. It also used an Aurora64V+ and I never had any
trouble with it. In fact, you can see a screenshot (and Adalia's
spelling errors (hey babe! :P)) at

I think I blew that laptop out before 4e... I'm not sure... but,
you're looking at third edition. None the less, the chipset should
be recognized. Everything else on the laptop worked for me: sound,
pcmcia, no hard disk troubles, all the memory was recognized, serial
and parallel, etc. It was a great little workhorse until I accidently
torched it playing experimental-Joe.
