My Thinkpad 770e also has Trident Cyber9397DVD video chip.
It works just fine in Xvesa and Xfbdev.  I tried it with the SVGA X 
server, it detected the chip and things appeared to be okay but it gives 
me a blank screen from which I can exit.  No freezes, crashes, or input 
problems.

So the chip is not a problem but the Winbook itself uses memory 
differently from how BL2 with X from Slackware 7 (some parts of it updated 
to Slackware 11) expects, ditto for DSL.  I have not tried kernel 2.2.

I was hoping to determine whether Seamonkey 1.18 will work in 256 colors 
so I can set up a laptop with 48MB for online use for a student.   It has 
about 72MB memory but like some early Compaqs, the screen does only 8-bit 
color.  Anyone know about Seamonkey/Firefox and color depth?  Can't test 
with Xvesa/Xfbdev which don't display in 256 colors (at least not in the 
correct colors).
