  293. #
  294. #For VGA cards more than any other hardware, it is more precise to
  295. #describe the chips we support rather than the cards they are based
  296. #on, since the cards are more ephemeral than the chip sets. Beware:
  297. #different revisions of a card may use different chip sets.
  298. #
  299. #Linux users can look at their X server configuration to see which
  300. #chip set they are using. Windows users can look at ``control panel''
  301. #-> ``display settings'' -> ``display type'' to find out.
  302. #
  303. #Plan 9 uses some basic accelerator for features such as filling and
  304. #scrolling rectangles. We use none of the 3D features on the cards we
  305. #support.

  356. #
  357. #Plan 9 supports PS/2 and PS/2 Intellimouse mice as well as serial

  366. #Laptops are often the hardest systems to get Plan 9 running on,
