Hi there All,
 I'm preparing to go to Linux as my OS. Before I do I'm making sure
all my ducks are in a row. My trident 9680 SVGA card isn't listed in
any Linux docs I've found as compatable hardware. However the driver
CD supplied with the card has UNIX
drivers. I'm assuming the standard UNIX drivers will work fine under
Linux.
 If that's not the case please drop me a note and let me know.
Thanks
Jeff B.

Hello.
  The trident 9680 is supported by XFree86 pretty well.  I have gotten
many systems with that card to work.  Personally, I would stay away from
the UNIX drivers supplied with the card.  Unless they source code,
they will probably not work.  Linux itself, (non-xwindow) uses the
standard VGA drivers.  The trident 9680 card is compatible with them.
  In short, installation should not be a problem.  Your card is on the
XFree86 list, and should work fine.

Get XFree86 3.3.1
