The problem is that there is no trident driver for my XGI Volari V3
video card for use with Xorg.  There is one from the XGI site that is an
.RPM which I converted into a .deb but then didn't know how to try and
implement it.  The .rpm version of the driver is located Here:
http://www.xgitech.com/sd/sd_download2.asp

XGI says that it only supports Xfree86, so I converted Edgy to run on
Xfree86 instead of xorg, but that didn't go so well because I still
didn't know how to use the downloaded and converted driver after i
installed it.  If there were a "how to" that explained step by step how
to do this successfully it would be nice.  Is there a way to use xfree86
and Xorg simultaneously perhaps with xfree86 master and xorg slave?  I
haven't found enough information on the subject.  If there is a way and
I had access to the info I could write a patch script and upload it.

Thanks again for the support I greatly appreciate it.

P.S. the trident Volari XP5 driver works in Edgy, except that I cannot
move anything on the desktop or scroll upwards without problems.
Scrolling down works fine.  Though I don't think it should work at all.
I don't know enough, and can't find info.
