Hello 9fans!

Recently I bought a motherboard.
Now I am trying to install plan9.
My hardwares are:
	CPU: pentium MMX 166MHz
	motherboard: MiTAC PH5400TX
		The specification is:
		Intel 430TX chipset
		Award BIOS
		4 PCI, 3 ISA
		2 DIMM sockets
	EIDE 3.2GB
	SCSI: Adaptec 1542CF
	vga card: trio64v+
Plan9 works on these hardwares except vga card.

Plan9 initially shows a message to add a data into vgadb.
I added a line:
        0xC0044="Phoenix S3 TRIO64V+ Enhanced VGA BIOS. Version 1.0" # Trio64V+
after the following lines in /lib/vgadb of updated version.
        0xC0044="Phoenix S3 TRIO32 Enhanced VGA BIOS. Version 1.3-08-12-57MHz"
        0xC0044="Phoenix S3 TRIO64 Enhanced VGA BIOS. Version 1.3-08"
        0xC0044="Phoenix S3 TRIO64 Enhanced VGA BIOS. Version 1.00-06"
        0xC0044="Phoenix S3 TRIO64 Enhanced VGA BIOS. Version 1.2-07"
After adding the line, Plan9 does not complain the lack of data.
However my display does not show any graphic data.
My configuration must be in fail.
I have expected trio64v+ is upward compatible to trio64,
but I don't know if it is really so or not.

Does someone know about this card and how to configure?
