I had a couple of those crappy Trident CyberBlade video cards that I
picked up cheap for setting up a multi-head system. After fighting with
them for weeks, I gave up - the driver is flaky, and prone to crashing.

My suggesting to you is to consider putting another video card in the
box and avoiding that onboard card altogether.
