Slowly stepping onwards — niflheim is now running at 1280x1024x8 by changing /n/9fat/plan9.ini
to include:
monitor=multisync
vgasize=1280x1024x8
None of the 1600x1200 monitors available in /lib/vgadb
work with the Hewlett Packard HP91 that I’ve got, so for now 1280x1024 is the best I can do. They all nearly work, but with terrible refresh rates or poor use of the screen…

) Under WinXP, the HP91 runs at 1600x1200 at frequencies 93.5kHz horizontal, 74.9Hz vertical). The HP P4 machines have a Rage 128 Pro video adapter, I wonder if they’ll be any easier to get working than the assorted S3 variants in the IBMs?
