No, unfortunately not! I have tryed a lot of configuration files who worked
by other guys with similar hardware. But on my TP it sucks :-(

How described - the Cyber9320, no matter whether "noaccel" or not, dont work
on my notebook (in combination with TFT, externel Monitor is ok)

What chip revision do you have and what bios revision for tp bios:
My xserver says:

> SVGA: PCI: Trident Cyber 9320 rev 227, Memory 0x08000000, 0x08200000
> SVGA: Detected an TFT 800x600 Display
