First place to look is the /etc/X11/XF86Config files that were written.
What are the differences between the XF86Config files in Redhat and
Debian? There are a number of options that you can give to the trident
module--maybe Redhat set some of those options, while Debian's X
configuration tool didn't. Finally, is Debian (sid) using X 4.3, or X
4.2?

It's probably not a kernel problem, since there's no DRM module
available for Trident chipsets AFAICT. If Redhat loaded the agpgart
module, and Debian didn't, you might try modprobing agpgart, but I don't
think that should do anything.

Thanks for your kindness. :-)

Debian(sid) use XFree86 4.2.1 and redhat 8.0 use XFree86 4.2.0
and my config file is locate at,

[url]http://hlug.hanyang.ac.kr/~xenus/XF86Config[/url]

XF86Config.debian is a config file for Debian
XF86Config.redhat is a config file for redhat

In debian, when I used a graphic device module trident, screen movement
is too slow but could see a full screen mplayer. And I used a vesa module,
screen movement is fast but couldn't see a full screen mplayer.
agpgart is not a source of this problem. :-(
