Sound like it was a 'white box' graphics card.  I have one of those, (
the same ATI XPERT 98 etc.) & I'm pretty satisfied with it.

I had a similar problem for a time, it's more likely an improper
selection of monitor in plan9.ini than anything wrong with the video
card.  Does standard 640x480 work?
