Subject: [9fans] What are the steps to add new video drivers?
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 08:37:58 GMT

Hi:
    I am tring to install Plan9 on a pentium III processor from DELL.
The video board is one that is not currently supported by the Plan9
project. How can I add a new driver without first having Plan9 running.
My card is a NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS. I have been able to get this card
working with Linux but not with Plan9.

The system does start to load the OS from my floppy but it stops and
dumps the video prom and ends with a "%" prompt.

Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks:

Rick G.
