At the end of 2003 I complained about a lot of serious bugs. Nobody cared
about that. Some people, even one of the linux gurus, just told me to use
epiafb (not included in the standard distribution), but that driver is 
even more broken. I then wrote a dirty hack and used it for some time ... 
a vesafb with integrated cyberblade acceleration. Not really clean enough 
for release ;-) At the end of 2005 I had some time and wrote cyblafb, based 
on tridentfb. Probably cyblafb will be extended to include support for 
cyberblade/i7 and another "Blade 3D" graphics cores. But fixing tridentfb 
for all chips without hardware access is a task too time consuming for me.

I understand. Thank you for the detailed explanation. For the record:
if anyone wants to throw any patches that might work on Trident Cyber 9525
chipset at me, I'll be more than happy to test them.
