Hi all,

Last night I downloaded X312d and X312E and tried to install them
on my system with pkgtool.

This went fine, but when I ran xf86config I still could only select
my video card as trident 8900/900 generic.

What is the deal?  

Do I need to download X312 as well and add that first then add d and e?

Are there any symbolic links I need to change to get everything running
properly?

I had the trident vga16 xserver, but 16 colours really sucks, so I am
hoping that the x312e release will _really_ allow me to use 256 colours
in svga with my trident 9440.

Any help greatly appreciated, and very very needed!
