DESCRIPTION
     trident is an Xorg driver  for  Trident  video  cards.   The
     driver  is accelerated, and provides support for the follow-
     ing framebuffer depths:  1, 4, 8, 15, 16, and 24. Multi-head
     configurations are supported.  The XvImage extension is sup-
     ported on TGUI96xx and greater cards.

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
     The trident driver supports  PCI,AGP  and  ISA  video  cards
     based on the following Trident chips:

     Blade       Blade3D, CyberBlade series i1, i7 (DSTN), i1, i1
                 (DSTN),  Ai1,  Ai1 (DSTN), CyberBlade/e4, Cyber-
                 BladeXP, CyberBladeAi1/XP, BladeXP

     Image       3DImage975,  3DImage985,  Cyber9520,  Cyber9525,
                 Cyber9397, Cyber9397DVD

     Option "CyberShadow" "boolean"
          For Cyber chipsets only, turn off shadow registers.  If
          you only see a partial display - this may be the option
          for you. Default: on.

     Option "CyberStretch" "boolean"
          For Cyber chipsets only, turn on stretching.  When  the
          resolution  is lower than the LCD's screen, this option
          will stretch the graphics mode to fill the entire  LCD.
          Default: off.

     Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
          Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer  layer.
          Default: off.

     Option "VideoKey" "integer"
          This sets the default pixel value  for  the  YUV  video
          overlay key.  Default: undefined.

     Option "TVChipset" "string"
          This sets the TV chipset. Options are CH7005 or VT1621.
          Default: off.

     Option "TVSignal" "integer"

          extension.   This is used to center the Xv image on the
          screen.  By default the values are  assigned  based  on
          the video card.  Default: 0.

     Option "XvVsync" "integer"
          Override the default Vertical-sync  value  for  the  Xv
          extension.   This is used to center the Xv image on the
          screen.  By default the values are  assigned  based  on
          the video card.  Default: 0.

     Option "XvBskew" "integer"
          Override the default  Bottom  skew  value  for  the  Xv

          value greater than 0 and less or equal to  10.  bright-
          ness is an integer value greater or equal to 0 and less
          than 128. Default:  gamma  and  brightness  control  is

          sets.  Option "AccelMethod"  "string"  Choose  acceleration
          architecture,  either  "XAA"  or "EXA".  XAA is the old
          (but stable) XFree86 based  acceleration  architecture.
