Are you definitely configuring it to use the SVGA driver? Try capturing the output of the X server and looking for things like video RAM detected, and what modes are rejected. Frank

I configure it for 800x600 and 16 bit color with no luck. 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. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Debian and Trident 9385 VGA Card
I'm trying to install Debian on my laptop. My card is listed at http://www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html as supported. Is a generic driver the only thing that is offered? The best resolution I can get is 640x480. I configure it for 800x600 and 16 bit color with no luck. Sam
