Dmesg describes video hardware as a Trident 8500, but there is no equivalent listed under XFree86's card list. I've tried both VESA and standard VGA to no avail. I do know that this board uses main system RAM as video memory, if that helps. All I get now is failed attempts to run "startx." I'm hoping someone out there has already figured this board out.
