Please guys, be patient.
I'm currently working on this driver.

I now works here (modulo accel). I just need to clean up the patches.
I won't be able to do so today as I'm invited to an X'mas party
and I've got to leave now ;-)
Please also note that I have spent more time answering emails on this
than it took me to figure out what needs to be changed on the Trident
driver.

Egbert.
