The Cyber9320 should be supported by XFree86 4.2.0 according to 
http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/Status33.html#33
so I think it's only a configuration issue. I have a Cyber9385 and apart
from some minor problems I'm very pleased with the Trident driver. AFAIK the
Cyber9320 is also based on the TGUI9660 like the Cyber9385.

Tino
