You need an updated Trident driver. I built one and posted at http://www.ambrisko.com/doug/trident_drv.o It also has a fix for the mouse pointer problem that still isn't in CVS yet. Save it in /usr/X11R6.4/lib/modules/drivers (you might backup the old one but it is busted). A bunch of Linux folks have also had good success with this (even though it was built on FreeBSD). Sometimes the Xserver starts up a little messed up and switching to the text console and back fixes it or restarting X. I've been using it for a long time now without trouble now on my 770Z Doug A.
