[9fans] What are the steps to add new video drivers?

[Richard Greenblott]

Hi:
    I am tring to install Plan9 on a pentium III processor from DELL.
The video board is one that is not currently supported by the Plan9
project. How can I add a new driver without first having Plan9 running.
My card is a NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS. I have been able to get this card
working with Linux but not with Plan9.

The system does start to load the OS from my floppy but it stops and
dumps the video prom and ends with a "%" prompt.

Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks:

Rick G.

I don't intend to make any changes to the version of the fileserver code
you should have now, and it doesn't have any IDE support.

The 9P2000 fileserver, which I am again working on now that update
is out of the way, is planned to support any device the cpu/terminal
kernel has. Of course, by the time I'm finished all this may be moot
as there is another (separate) fileserver project underway which may
subsume the Plan 9 one.

perhaps my previous request was not clear. i was refering
to the latest _full_ release. i was not refering to any
of the updates. in fact i just discoverd the latest update
this morning, and am in the process of reviewing the changelog.

based on this and other information that i have gathered the
answer seems to be no. so based on that i have another question.

will this functionality (ide pseudo worm) be included in the
9p20?? (4th edition)?
