i was wondering if the Supported_PC_hardware list found here:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Supported_PC_hardware/index.html, was
fairly up-to-date?
i am particularly interested in the VGA section
thanks.

Hello
I´m unable to get more than 8bits color depth with an ATI 5750. I can
do 1280x1024x8. Linux vesa driver can do full HD with 16bit colors
iirc.
slds.
