As much as I hate to say it, you are out of luck. Although the XFree team is working on it, there are not drivers for that card. If you had an earlier Trident card, you'd be fine, but support for that card is nil. Let me guess, you saw a squashed, enlarged upper-left corner of the screen, or nothing at all, when you ran X?? My advice, use another card. I had to swap cards with a few friends. It was worth the headache in the end.
