Ahh, yes.  Dang, forgot to mention that.  I'm not sure how best to
handle this - whether a .c.o suffix rule will help, or something more
fancy.  Any make(1) experts want to take a crack at this?

I hadn't tried "X -configure", but at least you only appear to get a
core dump - I just tried this and it locked up my pc164 :-(  I'll start
looking into this.  What model Alpha do you have?

All I can suggest right now is to make an XF86Config file (after
rebuilding the Xserver - see below) with the right "Device" section
and try running the Xserver directly.  I'll send mine to the list
in a different message that you can use as a template.

There's certainly a mention of "tgui9660" in some files under
xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/trident, so you
should be right there.  Ahh, it doesn't appear to be listed in
xfree86.cf - could you try adding "trident" to the list around
line 438 of .../xsrc/xfree/xc/config/cf/xfree86.cf - you'll have
to re-run a lot of the build.  If you're impatient, then maybe
you could get away with something like:

	cd .../xsrc/xfree/xc
	make -f xmakefile   -n Makefiles
	cd programs/Xserver
	make includes
	make depend
	make
