I have the same chipset on a Diamond card, and had the same problem with
the SVGAlib on 3.0.3.
Unfortunately, the SVGAlib with 4.0 is worse; upon using any SVGAlib
application, the program trashes the video registers on entry (!), not exit.
It is a great shame the the Trio64 chipset is so common. I would look
into this problem if I wasn't also working on so many other projects ;-)
