I would put it at the low end of that group.  No stencil buffer, 256x256 
max texture, single texture unit (!), no support for MODULATE, DECAL, 
ADD, or COMBINE (unless some of these are possible w/the undocumented 
ROP3 code).  I noticed in the document that it supports DirectX, but 
there is NO mention of OpenGL.  Hmm...

I noticed on page 4 (pdf file page 10) under "General Graphics 
Capabilities", the last item refers to an OpenGL ICD API.

It is. And all the trident docs I've got are like that. :(

Primarily targetting at the CyberBlade/XP series, but hoping to do
all of them at some point.
