Trust are a card manufacturer but don't use their own chipsets, so it is hard to tell without knowing what chipset the card uses. Run the following commands and post back the results (in code brackets if you can, they will be quite long). Alternatively add them as an attachment to this thread.

dmesg
lspci

Remember too that DSLinux is quite small and purposely stripped out. It may not contain all of the necessary drivers, but the card may be supported in other distros.

as root or as user????

when i typed dmesg one long message repeated hisself several times so i´m no figureing out where it starts and where it ends
when i typed lspci i got

Maybe for dmesg you can redirect the output to a file, then attach it. As root or user (doesn't matter) run

dmesg > ~/dmesg.output

You will then have the dmesg.output file in your home directory (or in root's home if run as root). You can then put this file on floppy/CDROM/USB stick and attach it to this thread.
