There are drivers out there, but the best bet would be to get
XFree86-3.3.  You can find these at:

http://x.physics.usyd.edu.au/

The driver you need is the SVGA server.  Installation is a lot easier
for 3.3 than previous versions.  Tell the script that you have a Trident
9440 and the monitor sync speeds, then the conf file will be written for
you.  The only hassles I have had are the fact that many monitors can't
perform as well as the card.
