 Ok, these are the changes I made (relative to the latest update).
Hopefully I havent missed anything. Note that if you want to build the
floppy image, then you should add the same line to /sys/src/9/pc/pcflop as
I did to /sys/src/9/pc/pcdisk.

diff /lib/vgadb /lib/vgadb.orig
299,303d298
< ctlr
< 	0xC0072="Diamond Viper V550"			# TNT
< 	link=vga
< 	ctlr=nvidia linear=1
< 	hwgc=nvidiahwgc

diff /sys/src/9/pc/pcdisk /sys/src/9/pc/pcdisk.orig
72d71
< 	vganvidia		+cur

diff /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/mkfile /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/mkfile.orig
40d39
< 	nvidia.$O\

diff /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/data.c /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/data.c.orig
47,48d46
< 	&nvidia,					/* ctlr */
< 	&nvidiahwgc,					/* hwgc */

diff /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/vga.h /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/vga.h.orig
299,302d298
< /* nvidia.c */
< extern Ctlr nvidia;
< extern Ctlr nvidiahwgc;
