[9fans] driver for old vga? (trident microsystems tvga8900)

[Axel Belinfante <Axel.Belinfante@cs.utwente.nl>]

I'm trying to put some old hardware (back) to work.
In particular, a very old video card that in the bios
says TRIDENT MICROSYSTEMS and has a chip labeled tvga8900 .
(TRIDENT TVGA BIOS C2.1?)

This card did work with the 4-floppy 2nd edition distribution.
Unfortunately, I was not (yet) able to access the old vgadb.
Any chance that there is still a driver for it in 4th edition?
Or an old 2nd edition one that I could try to reintegrate?
Essentially, the system will be used as a server,
so it is not a big deal, but would still be nice...

I could not get the old vgadb from the old disk containing
the 4-floppy install, because, with that disk in the system
I'm trying to get working I get a kernel panic on boot.
