I've an HP Omnibook Xe2 with a Trident CyberBlade i7 video card, it should
be supported by newer versions of XFree such as XFree86 3.6 or XFree86 4.0
but I can't make it work! I've installed Linux Red Hat 6.0 with XFree 3.3
first and XFree 3.6 after but the graphic can't start. I've also tried to
enable the VESA frame buffer by adding the line VGA=789 in my lilo.conf and
by using the XFree86_FBDEV server but the message is:
XFree86 Version 3.3.3.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: January 4 1999
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.2.1-ac1 i686 [ELF]
Configured drivers:
FBDev: Server for frame buffer device

same as when I try with XFree86_SVGA server.
I've configured the server by editing the XF86Config file as:
# **********************************************************************
# Files section. This allows default font and rgb paths to be set
# **********************************************************************
Section "Files"
# The location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:-1"
