There is an accelerated framebuffer available for the Trident CyberBlade family of graphical cards. Well, almost. With a literal

``#error Floating pint maths. This needs fixing before the driver is safe''

in the source, one can't assume this'll work. I did get some graphics using vesafb and kernel 2.4.16, though.

I'm using

vga=792

to specify a 1024x768x24 framebuffer. If you prefer 16 bit colors (which is a tiny bit faster), use

vga=791

but beware that it is impossible to switch modes once you chose one; so if you set up your framebuffer to use 1024x768x16, then that is what you'll have to set your X server to use later on. See Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt in the kernel source for details on what those numbers exactly mean and how to specify other modes if you prefer.
