I have a IBM Thinkpad 760XL, with a trident in it,
giving this from lspci -v -v:

00:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems
TGUI 9660/968x/968x (rev d3) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle-

DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11
        Region 0: Memory at 08000000 (32-bit,

        Region 1: Memory at 08400000 (32-bit,

The tridentfb driver isnt working very good, the output
on screen is in some way interlaced in some odd way. I
have a .png here:
I have also not been able to get Xfree 4.2.1 working,
but that seems to be another problem, seems the
modeline isnt right. The tridentfb driver seems to be
more on course, since the screen is atleast stable, not
unsycnched "noise" as in X, only weirdly interleaved.
Any ideas? Is this 760XL in some way different from
others of the same brand, since others seem to have
better luck?
