Try typing none at the mouseport prompt and then run

    9fs sources
    pull

to get a new kernel.  Then you'll have to install it in your 9fat partition:

    9fat:
    cp /386/9pcf /n/9fat/9pcf

The new kernel should both fix the panic: vmap and give you a
working cursor.

You'll still have to arrange to run echo hwaccel off >/dev/vgactl
before running aux/vga, or you will get the (very slow) timeout prints.
Those are due to the nvidia driver not knowing how to drive your
card, and there is nothing I can do about that.  If someone else
wants to fiddle with the nvidia driver, have fun.  I've reached my
lifetime limit for vga hacking.
