False alarm. Your card is supported. I found this at http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/Status28.html#28 ----------------------------------------------- 4.2.0: Support for the 964 (revisions 0 and 1), 968, Trio32, Trio64, Trio64, Trio64V+, ----------------------------------------------- However, I also found (elsewhere) that the framebuffer (fb) requires VESA 2.0. It does not work with VESA 1.2 (which is what the Trio ^64+ is). What effect (if any) this has on XFree 4.2.0, I do not know.
