At this stage, it will only work for an LCD screen.  I need to
add code to aux/vga for setting the clock.  Also, the cursor
colours aren't set up right -- mine comes out as a very dark
green arrow with a bright green border.

Neverthless, it enables me to use Plan 9 on my Sony VAIO
lapdog, so it's better than no driver at all.
