Hi all,
Please excuse me for the long post.
Heres the cure for Trident 3D image 975 :-)
Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config and change it to something like below -
Section "Device"
Identifier "Trident 3DImage975 AGP (generic)"
VendorName "Trident"
BoardName "3DImage9750"
#VideoRam 4096
# Xfree86 3.3.3.1 will recognize the chipset as 3DImage975.
#
# In Xfree86 3.3.2, either uncomment
#Chipset "3DImage985"
# or simply turn on programmable clocks:
#ClockChip "tgui"
# Xserver sets this automatically if it recognizes the chipset
# as 3DImage975 or 3DImage985, and I suspect this is all it does.
#
# * * * DO NOT probe clocks! * * *
#
# If the xserver crashes or freezes (with Xfree86 3.3.2.3 ???),
# try uncommenting the following line:
#Option "noaccel"
EndSection
Now try running X window....if the colors are not pretty, tweak the file
with the following settings, taking care of your monitor name etc...
# The Color SVGA server
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
# The following line should agree with the Identifier line
# from the corresponding Section "Device"
Device "Trident 3DImage975 AGP (generic)"
# Change the following for your monitor:
Monitor "AcerView 79g"
#DefaultColorDepth 16
#DefaultColorDepth 32
# The following to be read with startx -- -bpp 8
# and must be a sure shot:
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "800x600"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
# The following to be read with startx -- -bpp 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
# The best color depth available for 1152x864 and above
Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "800x600"
Virtual 1152 864
# This renders 1152x864 operable at start-up.
# Comment the "Virtual" line if you want to retain 1280x1024
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
# The following to be read with startx -- -bpp 32
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
# The following would not work:
#Modes "1024x768"
# But one may switch to 1024x768 from 640x480:
Modes "640x480" "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
ciao,

Change the "chipset" from "Trident 975" to "Trident 985" in the
XF86Config file. Amit Kucheria would be able to help more in this regard.
