Let me encourage you to use "startx" rather than "xinit". The divided xterm indicates a problem with your card/resolution settings. I'm not familiar with the Trident 9680, but a quick google indicates it's a PCI card with 2MB max RAM, which means yours probably only has 1MB. I've had problems with lower-RAM cards getting X working; sometimes ya just gotta hold your mouth just right . . . . Once in X, you might try pressing Ctrl-Alt-PlusOnTheKeypad or Ctrtl-Alt-MinusOnTheKeypad to cycle through the defined resolutions. But, if you only have a 1MB card, I'd recommend you scrounge up a 4MB card or so (Ebay, local computer store's dumpster, etc).
