- Trident insists it can't be done, and I take them at their word in
- this. They apparently will not develop a driver -- such is life when
- the manufacturer decides to update the chipset.

- However, there is hope. A "generic" 800x600 16 color driver is in the
- works, and you will no doubt hear more about it in the near future.
- Stay tuned.
