i tried kernel patch tridentfb-0.7.6-fs2 over a kernel
2.4.18
it work fine if i initialize module from console, using
fbset.
i can use 640x480 mode with 100hz and 1024x768 until 75hz
if i put in lilo vga=792 ancd
append="tridentfb:mode:1024x768-75",
the framebuffer is initialized, but screen utilized is
more little than real screen, and chars results
sovrapposed.
Others modes in lilo crash my pc
the laptop in question is a Compaq evo N110, and grafix
chip is recognized as Trident Microsystems CyberBlade
i1 (rev 6a).

    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 to work.

    any thoughts ?
