I did look over all of this. They don't make any mention of the XP4
anywhere and none of the source or header files mention it. Although
they might be using another marketing name, none of the FB or drm
drivers I found referenced the PCI ID of the chip found in my laptop
(actually, it does not look like they handle the TRIDENT vendor ID used
in my chip).

Maybe there is some magic in the drivers to handle this chip but I have
been unable to try it out since that would require switching back to a
2.4.x kernel driver and that would be rather painful given my other
hardware...

Obviously, I would feel much more comfortable with trying to improve the
existing nicely written 2D Xfree driver :)

Mathieu
