Hello there,
I had a similar problem. My graphics card was a TRIDENT CyberBlade i7 3D
AGP,
my Monitor is a LG Studioworks 78FT (17" Flatron, 1600 x 1200).
Due to my experience I shall never again buy any card or any Motherboard
that has a Trident chip on it. Trident just sucks.
What I did to make it work:
Chose my Trident CyberBlade i7 and selected a generic
"1024 x 768 60Hz LCD" ( !!! ) as my Monitor, as all other
settings would not work with this card (my LG Monitor works OK
when used with other cards such as ATI or NVIDIA).
The result was that I got a 1024 x 768 16-Bit color screen at 60Hz.
B U T : The performance really really sucks and is way behind even
my slow old Pentium 90. I had to turn off almost all "special effects"
such as "show contents when moving window" etc.
Altough I made it work, I found my Linux experience with my Trident card
was so frustrating that I shut it down and now instead use a
RIVA TNT2 based card.
DJ.
