I can't remember now, but I searched hardware, stable, current and
multimedia and it turned up.

Trident Cyberblade/i1.

It requires 4.0; although 3.3.6 lists the Cyberblade(generic) as
supported, I suspect that the i1 isn't (there are several Cyberblade
variants, it seems). Whenever 3.3.6 started up it would log `unknown
chipset'. VGA16 in 640x480x8 was the best I could ever get to work.

I posted a bug report at Xfree86.org, but haven't had a response.
Terrible web site, I must say.

Re: mouse problem:

I've applied the patches Kazu sent out a week or so ago to the psm
driver, and so far it seems to be behaving. But I thought the same about
my patches, until two days ago when the mouse went beserk. So I'll
reserve judgement for now on these. I did have to fix the one bug I
found as well, which isn't included in the patch, namely adjusting the 
#define of the GENERIC_MOUSE_ENTRY driver offset in the mouse type table
to be 10 and not 7.
