Haven't checked the site, but first google result: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/linux/axp/2003-q3/0038.html

According to xfree.org site, the correct driver for trio64 is s3...

My bad.

thehatsrule, do you mean I should try buying a radeon card xD?

I've read posts like that, that's why I said Xfree 3.3.6 in my thread (replacing Xvesa with Xfree) but all the chips on the card read S3, so I thought it has a S3 ramdac, which is supported by 4.3.0..

I'll try it with the vesa driver (Is it going to be the same as Xvesa, but with more libs and a longer loading time?)

No, you did not read the relevant part of that post at all.  Read again?

Where did you say you were using 3.3.6?  4.x contains the s3* named drivers.  Are you sure you read the 4.3 docs?  Also, it's writting there that the "s3" driver supports only some ramdacs... (specific to manufacturer)

vesa will be faster than xvesa, but it's a bit heavier in terms of memory usage.

My earlier thread about X
I didn't say I was using 3.3.6, I said I probably would have to use it 'cause of better S3 support.

How do I find out the RAMDAC? lspci doesn't show it, all the chips read only S3, X logs don't show it (when it had loaded the RAMDAC module it printed only some info about it, like clock rates. No name)
