They only switch screen resolutions, not colour depth. Colour depth is
in /etc/XF86Config -- by default it's 8 bpp, unless 8 bpp entry is not present
(in section "Screen", subsection "Display". Ways to start X in a given colour
depth: `startx -- -bpp N`, DefaultColorDepth N entry in section "Screen"
outside
any "Display" subsections, or having a single "Display" subsection with Depth
N.)

Why, /usr/doc/X11/README.trident of course. :-)
As for linear addressing, PCI cards don't require that option. If yours
is not PCI, then it may work for you (or not -- read the file, it also lists
a number of interesting problems with non-PCI cards.)
