The Intel 855PM and the 855GM/GME chipsets are different things, the
former is a memory controller and the latter is an integrated graphics
card plus memory controller:

The "855G" driver from the Accelerated-X page seems to be for the
855GM/GME graphics card, so it is probably of no use to you.
Which version of the XFree86/Xorg "trident" driver did you try? The
manpage claims that the Xorg 7.0 version supports acceleration for your
card. (It does not specify if this is 2D or 3D acceleration, though.) If
you are using Sarge it might be worthwhile to try Xorg 6.9 from
www.backports.org before buying a commercial X server.
