xorg.conf for Compaq Armada 110

Dear laptopers,

during the honorable quest of converting my wife's laptop from win to fbsd,
I came across the following problem.

It's a Compaq Armada 110; everything works as it should _except_
running X just blanks the screen and freezes the machine (can't
even ping it). The graphics device is

	Trident Microsystems CyberBlade i1 (rev 6a)
	Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation CyberBlade i1 AGP

A workaround is to specify the graphics devoce driver as (generic)
"vga" instead of the (Xorg -configure)'d "trident" in xorg.conf.
That makes X able to start (with a ridicuslously low resolution and
ugly colors).

Does someone please have a working xorg.conf for this machine?

	Thanks

		Jan
