I can also confirm this bug, on a Cyber9525(rev49) (Toshiba
Satellite 4060XCDT), with kernel 2.6.8.
One note: with tridentfb compiled into the kernel it crashes
at boot time (with some stray color bars on the screen) and
hangs the laptop, but when compiled as a module, it only
freezes the last contents of the screen (=80x25 text) on
modprobeing, but the...

Im using the laptop Toshiba Tecra 8200 with a Trident CiberBladeXP Graphic Card. After installing Debian 3.01 Woddy or Sid, the screen remains little, in the center of the monitor rounded by a black area. I have installed the FB support for Trident Cards, and VGA FB is not selected. At Kernel Bootup, it tells me:

modprobe tridentfb mode=800x600 memsize=2048, but the modules load well, and the resolutions still remain in 640x480.
Is it possible change the...

I have a Toshiba Tecra 8200, with a 1400x1050 displays that gets
reported as a 1280x1024, but i want to be able to run in 1400x1050
it has a "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems
CyberBlade/XP (rev 63)" GFX card.
so I think I need to specify the options:
nativex=1400 fp mode=1400x1050 bpp=16
how would the append line look like?, i can't get it...

Ant Skelton has a driver for the trident cyberblade found on
VIA EPIA mobos. http://sf.net/projects/epiafb
If you have such a board chances are it works better than tridentfb since it actually has CRT testing.
In the future these projects might merge efforts.

1)take out vesafb from kernel
2)no need for vga= option
3)append="video=trident:1024x768-75"
notice trident not tridentfb and video=

hi.
running a FSC lifebook 2131 with 800x600 lcd,
and above chip.
uhm -- not much to tell:
insmod tridentfb simply turn the screen into blinking
garbage and causes a complete hang. no error output
caught.
tried 0.76-fs2 and the kernel 2.4.19 builtin.
anything i can do to help debug this?
regards,
dns.
