I'm running the latest version of Xfree86 in Debian Sid (4.2.1-6) on my laptop. Directly after the switch to 4.2, in November or so, myself and many others experienced an odd distortion of the colors when using the trident_drv module. Fortunately, an updated module was made available on http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/. ...This solved the problem. Unfortunately, during a recent apt-get upgrade, this trident_drv.o was overwritten. Had I been thinking, I should have made a copy of the module, or added a diversion to apt earlier. It seems someone else is in my situation: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03320.html. However, nobody provided the module in that thread. Sure, upgrading to XFree 4.3 is the best solution, but, it isn't always perfect for everyone. I will wait to upgrade until the Debian X guys build the XF4.3 packages. ...They've done a great job so far, and I'd be much more confident in an official Debian X package than one compiled by myself. Until XF4.3 is available in Sid (Likely, quite some time from now -- It takes time to get everything running on all those architectures), or I am provided the corrected trident driver for XF4.2, I will be without X on my laptop.
If anyone has this module, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
