Problem with X server under Satellite 1800-514



hi everybody,
 
I have installed a debian 2.4.18 on laptop toshiba Satellite 1800-514. Today the X server works fine with fbdev. I have modified the lilo.conf and have used hdparm, toshset (toshset -cpu fast) and enlightnement. But it's very slowly.....when i want watch a DVD or an AVI files (cause fbdev don't accelerate and the trident Cyberblade isn't a very good video card).
 
this notebook has the following hardware :
 
  • Celeron 1 GHz CPU
  • 128 Mb RAM (There are two expansion slots: one is filled with shipped RAM module, one is free. Max installable memory: 512 Mb )
  • 14' LCD TFT display (Max resolution 1024x768, smaller resolution can be centered or stretched in the display)
  • CD/DVD-ROM
  • 1 HD 15Gb
  • Touch Pad with 2 Keys (PS/2 mouse compatible)
  • 2 PCMCIA Slots
  • 2 USB ports
  • 1 Video Out (max 65536 colors)
  • 1 TV Out
  • 1 Serial (9 pin)
  • 1 Parallel
  • 1 IRDA
  • 1 Mic in
  • 1 Audio out
  • 1 PS/2 port.
I know it's possible to use this laptop and X without fbdev. I have tried with generic driver "Trident", and have this error  :

When i change the drivers in XFreeConfig-4 (trident to fndev) all works fine, but under fbdev. I would like to try generic drivers. (xfree86-common 4.1.0-16       X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure)
 
Anybody can help me ?!
 
Than in Advance,
 
jb
