Looks like those are for the EPIA-M ?

Actually, it seems that my problem was with the
version of X Windows that I was using.  I was running
4.3.1(??), from the Mandrake 9.1 install.  However,
the EPIA trident_drv.o module supplied by VIA is for
4.2.0.  So, I:

  - reinstalled a bare-bones Mandrake 9.1 (I didn't
want to have to deal with all the dependencies I would
run into if I just removed the RPMS);
  - downloaded and installed the XFree86 4.2.0
binaries from ftp.xfree86.org;
  - dropped in your XF86Config file (I had to do a
little minor tweaking of the drivers to be loaded)

Result: I now have twm displaying on my screen (it's
as ugly as heck, but that's onlt the first step!)

Next step: get Freevo downloaded and installed so I
can really test out it's performance under X.

My goal, actually, is to have a system that can
support both framebuffer and X.  Why?  Why not? :-)

Thanks for your help!

Alan
