I have svgalib 1.2.10 and a Trident 9400 with 1 Mb of video dram.
svgalib fails to autodetect the card as a Trident (defaults to generic
VGA). When I force it to use the TVGA driver, I cannot use 256-colour
modes of 640x480 or higher resolution; the screen goes blank and text
mode cannot be restored. The TVGA driver says that it is for 8900/9000
TVGA cards. Does anyone know if there is a patch available for the
Trident TVGA 9400 or even a generic SVGA driver available; the SVGA
X-server works fine with my card? Any ideas or suggestions would be most
welcome.
Regards,
Ralph.
