           Summary: white screen with a Trident cyber 9397DVD card
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/Trident
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: fabrice at bellet.info


I observe the same problem on an old thinkpad 770Z with a trident cyber 9397dvd
video card, than the one described here:
 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2005-March/msg00248.html

When gdm starts, the screen becomes completely white, and only the hw cursor
remains reactive. The laptop still runs fine, and is reacheable with ssh. When
switching back to a VT, the console is also completely garbled (vesafb is in
use), but it still works. I suspect a problem with the trident driver.

I use the Fedora development packages (xorg-x11-6.8.2-20 currently)
