1. Newbie NEED HELP, Trident 9440 on Xfree86, thanx.

        Hi, i am kind of new to linux, I just got it from info.magic.

        It comes with RED HAT 3.0.3 (Picasso) and Slackware 96.

        I tryed to install both, every thing ok until i try to configure X
Superprobe reports my Video card( trident 9440 1MB DRAM ) as having 64k
memory. I sort of find some config files, like XF86Config and tryed to
do it manualy but i dont understand almost everything in there :((

        If u can give me a hand, any help is extremely very welcome, I
would be very thankfull.
