00:09.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c325 [ViRGE] (rev 06) 
(prog-if 00 [VGA])
       Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 7
       Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64M]
       Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K]


Works fine. I don't know if this is a Trio 64+ video card or not though. 
Also, Direct Rendering doesn't work.
