  I am trying to run X386 with a Trident Tvga8900 video card. When I run
startx, the screen blanks, the nothing happens. I am still in the shell, so
I could do a setterm -dump and see what the screen looked like. All it said
was 'giving up' and then 2 xinit errors. Could someone with X386 working
with thier Trident send me thier Xconfig file? If I comment out the chipset
"tvga8900" line, X will run, but it is badly out of synch. ANy help would
be greatly appreciated.

BTW - I am on a 486/33 IBM clone.
