Try using the method described on our other forum describing

Well now isn't this interesting ( btw ke4 thank you very much for taking some time on this with me )...

Fujitsu is saying it's a C&T controller eh? Hmmm...

I discovered a nice little utility on my knoppix 3.3 disk called lspci which, according to the man page, is 'a utility for displaying information about all PCI buses in the system and all devices connected to them.' ( You listenin' John? It's only about 30K I think... *wink wink*  :D  )

lspci identifies it as a VGA compatible Trident Microsystems TGUI 9660/938x/969x (rev d3), also known as one of the Trident ProVidia series.

So anyway I've tried using both the Xchips and the Xtrident servers from the link posted elsewhere, but still no luck.

NEXT??  ???

No answer, just a correction: vga=771 means 800x600 with 256 colors (not 256K).
