The Trident card will not work in X, there is no X-server. However, Jay
Estabrook is looking for volunteers to port the SVGA server to include more
cards than the current Matrox Millenium support.
The Diamond Video 64 will work, I have the VRAM version (S3-968) installed
and operating nicely in a Multia.
The trick to getting it to work is to compile and install a kernel *without*
TGA support. Compiling both TGA and VGA support in the kernel does not work,
since the TGA adapter is detected at kernel boot as the default adapter (this
is your current problem).
