I'm running RH3 and a few months ago exchanged my SVGA and got a Trident
TVGA9680 with 2 Mb.

The card is unsupported by the released version of XFree, but I got a beta server 
from Xfree.org and had it going in a rough fashion.

Now the serverhas expired and I found the newer beta a little more difficult 
to get going.. Consequently I've retrieved the update from RH and installed that.
No support there, so I've installed the latest beta server and attempted 
to configure it manually.

It gets up & runs, sort of. However, the screen doesn't draw properly & the mouse
cursur isn't drawn at all although the window on the virtual screen slips around
appropriately and I can raise a menu with MB1.

Does anyone have a working config covering the trident TVGA9680 and/or
Sony Multiscan 15sfII (there's a similar one on the database and I'm using that for
the moment). or 17sfII.
