Hi there, I have recently bought a Toshiba Satellite 1800-S204 laptop that comes with a `trident cyberbladeXPAi1' card. I installed RedHat 7.0 that came with XFree86-4.0.1 and it did not recognize the card. I upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0 but no improvement. Since I noticed that support for this card

Alan, Sorry, but although the card is correctly detected, the driver doesn't work well for me (CyberBladeXPAi1, Toshiba S1800-814) In 16 and 24bpp the display shows a lot of noise, especially when moving windows/cursor. I've tried to change the horz/vert display settings (LCD) w/out success.
