} I've setted the bus ID to 12 and not 18 !!!

Remember that lspci reports ids in hexadecimal, and the XF86Config needs
them in decimal. Hex 12 is decimal 18. What appears to be happening is
that the trident driver is loading, knows from probing that it's at 0x12
(decimal 18), doesn't find a matching device section in the XF86Config,
thus complains. Set it to 18 in the XF86Config and it should work
better.
