I am in the exact same problem. I managed to configure my X server with my video
card Trident 3DImage 975. I can't read anything, so weird. Pablo, would you please
copy that portion of your configure file and post it here. I want to try it but I am
not very good at using text editor to edit my XF86Config.
Also, I don't know what I did. But after I startx, my screen is not viewable until I
use Crtl+Alt+"+" to toggle the screen to viewable setting. How can I edit my
XF86Config to make it work right rightaway? Please help.
