Hello touco,
I have been off list but note from the digest your problem with your
Trident 3D Image 975 video card. I have the same card with an LG
Studioworks 56i monitor and had the same problem.
I suggest you preferably do another install and select the components
you have but don't probe or start X. I selected only 16 bits at
1024x768res. Reboot to the innit3 prompt, log in,then type mc to call up
midnight commander and then:
F9 tab to Options, c for configure options, y for lynx-like motion, S
for save.
Tab left then down to ETC, then to X11 and down to XF86Config. F4 to
edit.
In the monitor section I commented out all modelines until I got to the
one I wanted (in my case 1024x768 at 70Hz). I got this from my monitor
manual as a pre-tuned mode.
Then go down to the Graphic Device section and to the section Graphic
device configured by Xconfigurator. After BoardName (unknown in my
case) insert a new line that reads:
Option "noaccel"
exactly like that. I think there is a bug that needs this option.
Then down to check that you have the svga server at the colour depth and
res you wanted.
Then F2 to save, F10 to quit and Yes to confirm. You'll be back at the
prompt and type startx. It should work. If not go back into mc and try
another modeline.
A friend showed me how to do this when I was about to abandon Linux.
Good luck.
