Alan Hourihane has a newer Trident driver on his XFree86 pages which you might want to try. I don't have the URL handy, but I believe it is http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh or somesuch. If you query bugzilla for trident related problems you may also find additional useful information. Hope this helps, TTYL -- Mike A.
