I don't know beans about your monitor or the Trident card, but I did at one time successfully get a Trident card with a SiS 6326 working. It's been a while, but I think I needed Option "no_bitblt" Option "sw_cursor" in the appropriate section in /etc/XF86Config. The first line turns off the entire blitting engine, though, so performance was almost unacceptably slow, IMHO. There's lots of useful goodies like that in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.SiS provided you have the XF86 docs installed. Merry X11-mas, and HTH. Lucas -- S.
