Trust me it won't and that's what the Xfree developer tried to tell me.
But after spending two weeks exchanging email and config files it's
still not working on with RH 7.3. In fact the developer told me there
was no changes made to the Trident driver. But guess what it won't work
with the latest xfree and if you look at their page the Trident 9385
chip is listed as not supported.
Please let me know if you get it to work with 7.3.
