Same problem here with an IBM 300pl, I can remember having problems installing
Xfree on the machine in a previous incarnation.  It has an onboard S3 Trio3D

Under WinXP I can run it to 1600x1200x16bit, the best (and only) mode I can
get in Plan9 is 1024x768x8bit.

I have the normal 16x16 cursor in the top-left sixteenth of a 64x64 blob.

The addition that I had to make to vgadb in order to install and run was:

>        0xC004B="S3 86C366 Video BIOS"  # ajft
	link=vga
	hwgc=s3hwgc
	ctlr=trio64 linear=1
	link=ibm8514

I tried to muddle my way through some docs I had on the Trio3d chips and edit
the driver and only succeded in making things much worse!

Hope this helps.

	Adrian
