[riptide] XFree86 4.2.0 "trident" and Conexant HSFi modem

[Christian Barth]

Hello!

I have a RH 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18) PC with an MSI MS-6368 Mainbord with 
integrated trident blade 2d/3d video accelerator and a "Acer Modem 56 Surf 
PCI" which uses the Conexant HSFi chipset. All works well as long as I use 
(the slow) XF86_SVGA 3.3.6a X-Server.

If I use X 4.2.0 things stop working as soon as I move a window: The 
connection gets very bad and the modem hangs up. Any ideas? How to debug 
this?

This happens with the modem drivers supplied by conexant as well as with 
the new beta drivers. I have tried debian 3.0 as well with a costum 2.4.18 
kernel: same situation. It is not with kde, because it happens with fvwm2 
as well. I have a cerleon 1100 Mhz cpu and 256 MB RAM.

BTW,
X 4.2.0 dedects the 8 MB RAM (supplied by the main borad), but only uses 4 
of them.

Thanks,

Christian
