Trident cyberblade Ai1/Xp
I have a Toshiba Satellite 1805-S274 which uses the Trident cyberblade Ai1/Xp chip. I am running RH 8.0 (Linux version 2.4.18-14, X11R6 V 4.2). I have downloaded the latest trident driver from Alan Hawthorn's Xfee86 page. When I play a movie, etc. I get a random (truely!, I've tried exactly the same thing 0 - 6 times to get a crash) hard locking of the machine requiring a complete system reset. It always happens when I initiallystart playing a movie. The screen immediately turns an odd checkered pattern: xterm windows and movie windows are still there as a different kind of striped plaid than the desktop. Whenever I play a movie I get a one-pixel blue line running from theupper left corner of the image to the right side of the screen and underneath that a 2nd 1-pixel blue line which turns brown and ends before the hitting right side. I often also get a vertical blue line running along the left edge of the image going from top to bottom (1 pixel in width). The lines I can live with. This happens under KDE or Gnome; in 16, 24 or 32 bit res (never tried 8); using mplayer, xine or realplayer. I could only find one helpful reference to this on a now-defunct Xfree list: http://www.spinics.net/lists/xf-xpert/msg06754.html and have not seen any fixes. Is their any solution to this? I must use this laptop for animated presentations and un-accelerated video is too slow. Is thir any way I can help with this? Altho I'm a bear of little c-programming ability.

Re: Trident cyberblade Ai1/Xp
Thamks for the reply! I do wonder if it's something specific to Toshiba or to the cyberblade. But at least I know their aren't any fixes yet.

I did try to fix the problem by hacking the driver w/out success... Too bad. Cheers, Olivier. On Thu, 2003-03-27 at 14:53, Trent R.
