Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-trident

I have an older Laptop, Gericom Supersonic A440 1Ghz.
It has a 1024x768 TFT Display and a Trident Cyberblade i1 Graphics Adapter.

When I use the "trident" driver in xorg.conf, the displayed image is 2 pixels off to the right. That means, I have 2 lines of pixels missing at the right side of the display and 2 black/blank lines at the left.
I bootet Knoppix, and there I didn't have this problem (though it was using the "trident" driver!)

The only way I can have it working in kubuntu, is to use the "vesa" driver, but then X needs more of RAM, than with the trident driver.
So this should be fixed, maybe just by updating the trident driver to the most recent version?

Okay, I now tried the trident driver of knoppix, but it still doesnt fix it. Then it must have something to do with the combination of driver and some other factors which are in kubuntu but not in knoppix...

Help would really be appreciated :S

Confirming. I have the same behaviour in Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) with the Trident Cyberblade i1 controller. I have had this issue at least since Dapper.

I am sorry, I don't have this notebook anymore since about 7-8 years now. Consider that my last comment was from 2006 -- you might want to put someone from the newer commenters from 2008-2009 on subscription. But I don't know if this bug is worth looking into, as there are no complaints since 2009 here...?
