Updated patch that compiles

Added to xfree-4.2.1-r2.  Please test when out.

I'm getting weird graphics error with 4.2.1-r2. I will dig some and try to come
up with some more information.

Err, maybe just recheck the patch, as it did not apply nicely, and it was
sorda late that night.

I found that the blue color came from using 16 bit depth. When using 24bits the blue 
color is gone. Weird. 
 
The Xv still doesnt work with this patch, it even made it worse. I will investigate this 
and hopefully come up with a new patch in a couple of days.

This patch takes the trident driver back to what it was in the 4.2.0-r12 ebuild
(with the old cvs patch applied). I didn't want to make a patch against the
bleeding edge becuse it would change to many files outside the trident driver.
I'm running this version on my system now and it works as expected.

[Comment 8 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2002-12-24 17:02:58 UTC]

This should be fixed in -r2, please check and let me know ...

[Comment 9 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) 2002-12-28 20:49:03 UTC]

-r2 works like a charm, the blue colors are still there when I run in 16bit, but
that's something I can live with.

Closing since everything works.
