I have bought a Toshiba Notebook which comes with a trident cyberblade
graphics card. I have not been able to get this card to really work. scanpci
-v gives "Trident Device unknown" So at first it would not work at all, but
by looking at the list archives I finally made it at least start X by setting
VideoRam and ChipSet manually (to 4096 and cyberbladeAi1). Without that X
complains about not finding anything.
Now if I start X I get to see the Cursor and I know everything else is
started too, because the cursor changes when I get over the xterm that must
be there, but I dont see anything but the cursor, the rest is just plain
black ...
Relevant Parts of my X Config (if you need more tell me)
----
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LCDMoni"
HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-85
EndSection
Section "Device"
BoardName "Cyberblade"
Driver "trident"
ChipSet "cyberbladeAi1"
Identifier "trident"
VendorName "Trident"
Option "dpms"
VideoRam 4096
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "LCD"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
Device "trident"
Monitor "LCDMoni"
EndSection

So with this config I actually get into X but don't see anything. If I use
the framebuffer device instead, I get to see everything but thats not too
fast, so I want to get normal accelerated X working.
Do you need some XFree log output (I don't wanna send it to the list when its
not necessary).
