Everytime just screen was just scrambled with weired random graphics pixel stuff. modprobe tridentfb on 2.6.6-rc1 gives: tridentfb: Trident framebuffer 0.7.8-NEWAPI initializing tridentfb: framebuffer size = 8192 Kb tridentfb: 0000:01:00.0 board found tridentfb: 1024x768 flat panel found tridentfb: fb0: Trident frame buffer device 640x480-8bpp My system is a IBM R30 laptop with the following lspci output: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1 (rev 5d) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: IBM ThinkPad T30 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 Memory at 80800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Memory at 80500000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Memory at 81000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Capabilities: [80] AGP version 1.0 Capabilities: [90] Power Management version 1 I'm willing to test any patches to get this think working correctly....
