I just brought up Plan 9 on a DEC 466MTE.  This is a 486DX2/66, 256K L2
and a custom, on-board video.  I'm using a copy of the #9GXE Level-1[12]
config with the hwgc= removed.  Using hwgc=bt485hwgc gave me an invisible
cursor; with hwgc=s3hwgc I got a black screen...

Here is the vga stuff:

        0xC004C="S3 86C928/Bt485"
        link=vga
        ramdac=bt485-135
        ctrl=s3928 link=ibm8514
        clock=icd2061a link=s3clock

Btw, these machines are very nicely constructed.  The midi-tower box
has removable side panels, you can swap boards without having to move
your coffee cup...
