Comment 4 Chris Wessells 2001-06-06 16:25:54 UTC 
The trident driver works in Mandrake 8.0.  I installed in on my laptop and it worked, I don't know if you could check out their distro and port the driver to 
Red Hat or not, but I would like that.

Uncompressed file attachments only please, so I can read them right
in the browser...

I will check Mandrake's XFree86 and see if there are any Trident
bugfixes included.

Please reattach new logfile and config if you can, to save me some time
working on this.  Thanks.

Option "cybershadow"

in your Device section.
