Trident 3dImage975 and X
Hello all:
I have what I hope is a quick question. I'm having trouble getting X to
work using the SVGA server with my Trident 3DImage 975 Card. The VGA 16
server works fine, but as you can imagine looks slightly less beautiful
than I would like.
I'm using the X that came with Slink, although I upgraded to potato and
tried the updated X Windows there with similar results. So now I'm back
to Slink. I've read the README files and can find nothing there to help
me.
The quick question is: Has anyone run into this or a similar problem and
fixed it. If not, then here's the output:
XFree86 Version 3.3.2.3 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: July 15 1998
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.0.36 i686 [ELF]

I notice that it is detecting the card up top, but then the lines with
(--) followed by my card name later. It seems to be eliminating the
modes outside my monitor's ranges (30-70H 50-130V), which is good, but
I confess to being ignorant about what much of this output means.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, and thanks at least for reading
this far.
