A simpler solution would be to try the other 640x480x256 mode.  Before I deleted
windows, I remember that there were two 640x480x256 drivers for the trident.
One was faster, for 1-meg cards.  I didn't care one way or the other, because I
used 800x600x256.  Still, If 800x600 is too slow or too small, you should try
the other 640x480x256 driver and cross your fingers that the bug is not in both
of them.
