I'm trying to install Plan9 on my main machine, which uses a GeForce256 SDR
Graphics card, but AFAIK the chipset isn't supported. Does anyone know of a
standard framebuffer driver for the plan9 installer so I can sort out my
vgadb? Enclosed is my vgainfo.txt:

Thanks ever so much for your help - failing that, has anyone got an NE2000
card working on Plan9?
