ALi M5451/Trident sound module -> video corruption

[David Caplan]

Hello,

I have a Sharp Actius MM10 "sub-notebook", on which I'm running kernel
2.4.21-rc1.
When I load the trident.o sound module, the lcd begins flashing blue
stripes continuously. I am not up to date on the current issues with
this driver, am I doing something wrong? could there be some sort of
hardware
conflict? or is it a kernel problem?

I have included the output of lspci... 
Please CC me any responses.

Thanks,
 -David
