Boy, I dislike trident chips.  I had a lot of problems with them and
they just don't work right for go32.  Unfortunately, they're very
inexpensive (since they're slow and awkward), so lots of people have
them.  I recommend getting a different SVGA that's not based ont he
Trident chip if you're serious about using djgpp and graphics.
