[XFree86] Trident Blade anomaly on Redhat 9 (shrike)

2003-11-11 Thread John Chandler
XFree86 -- This could fundamentally be a Red Hat issue, but maybe I can recover with a word of advice from you. I have a video card I got over a year ago and for which I've lost the docs. When installing RedHat 9, it is probed as a Trident Blade, and the graphical install works fine. When I boo
