    Fritz,

    I have the same issue with video card "Trident CyberBlade" on Compaq
    Presario 1277 laptop. I got a suggestion from this list to replace
    "trident" with "vega" in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

    That worked, But with only 256 color mode, I get screen overlaps on using
    "thousands/millions of colors". I really want it to work with "thousands of
    colors" though.

    I've recently upgraded a Toshiba Portege 2000 laptop (Trident CyberBlade
    video card) from FC3 to FC4.

    In FC3 everything worked perfectly fine in X. in FC4 not even the
    install will load properly. I have to pass a resolution argument to the
    kernel on boot and I also get a white screen and have to press Fn-5 to
    disable and then re-enable the lcd for it to show properly.

    I decided to try to go ahead with the install and then fix it later.
    Well.. I went through with a personal desktop install and lo-and-behold
    I still have to pass a resolution argument and still have to fn-5 it to
    get gdm to display. I did a yum update to get any last minute fixes. I
    then proceeded to install some other apps: xmms, mp3 support, mplayer,
    xine, realplayer 10. I also removed the helix player. When I attempted
    to bring the system back up the next day, X fails to load with:

    [EE] /usr/X11R6/libs/modules/libddc.a is an unrecognized type.
    [EE] TRIDENT: Failed to load module "ddc" (unknown module type, 6)

    I've STFW and can't find a dang thing about this. I've tried everything
    I can think of in my limited experience with xorg and my longer
    experience with XFree86. But I'm stumped.

    Any thoughts?

    Fritz
