Old Trident Card? Hey, which one? We may be in the same boat.
I've got a Trident 3D Image and it was a pain in the arse to
get a Modeline working with 3.3.6 (X seems to misbehave with
this card -- if I use a line that was supposedly to use a
refresh rate of 60Hz, then sometimes I get my monitor saying
that the signal it is receiving is for 20Hz or something else
below its capabilities).
Since I don't want to have the same problems with X4, then I'm
just waiting until some bugs more are found or people report
success with this card.
Which card do you have? I'm also a bit scared of upgrading to
woody after I heard about the major breakage with the libc
upgrade...
[]s, Roger...
