i would try MetroX or AcceleratedX (run a web search for them) they are not
free but well worth it if you can't get Xfree workin for some reason or
another(i bought acceleratedX recently for a solaris8/x86 machine). i have
never tried trident with linux, it was bad enough under other OSs i wouldn't
want to try it under linux :/
note that neither metroX or accelX may support your card...but they might.
both have downloadable demos i think.
