The Vibrant inline driver does NOT currently support the Cirrus 5434 and it
looks like it isn't going to make 1.0.4 inline. However, full VESA
hi/true-color support will be in 1.0.4, so that might be able to get you up an
running…

Hey Chuck,
I won't even bother telling you about the time it takes to initialize the ATI
Mach64 because I'm sure you're aware of it. But, do you know that if I load 3D
Studio I cannot run Windows without having to power down the computer? The
Vibrant driver is doing something to the Mach64 that it hangs the computer when
you try to load Windows. I just got brand new drivers from ATI (to fix a
problem it had with PC-NFS) but this hasn't changed.
Why do you make so many calls to the VESA bios? That's what is taking so long.
If I put a trap and ignore all VESA calls, the Vibrant driver go straight up
with no delays.

Excellent, I have a Trident 9400 on one machine. What about support for that
chip? The 9000 works with bugs but the best bug free operation is with the
VESA compatible, however no truecolor or hicolor.

It is one of the many pending chipsets we are trying to get support for…
Sorry it is taking so long, but there have been LOTS of other chipsets that
have needed attention over the past few months, so we are pretty swamped. I'll
put another note in about Trident 9400…
