Ok, I got X11 set up to run with the generic settings.  I 
decided to get a better video card because I was fed up 
with Oak - Video cards.  So I SPECIFICALLY bought a Trident
card with the 8900-C chip set.  This will not run in anything
better than the generic chipset mono mode.  If I use the sample
Xconfig file  and X tells me no configured devices.  If I force it
with chipset "tvga8900" the screen goes blank (I think video mode)
and then ....Nothing.  I have to reboot because nothing works.  
I am using the latest version of X from tsx-11 I now with a Trident
8900C card and a packard bell Trisync PB8510SV.  Can ANYONE help 
PLEASE.
