xserver-xorg-video-trident broken for cyberblade/XP

[Beeblebrox <zaphod@berentweb.com>]

I have an old laptop with a Trident Cyberblade/XP video card. tridentfb has
been broken for this model card for some time now.

# service lightdm stop
# modprobe tridentfb (from tty0)
Screen goes black then shows stripes with light and dark areas.

* I'm only able to get a gui environent by forcing vesa in xorg.conf and not
loading tridentfb.
* With vesa, screensaver locks-up the system (no tty, no caps-lock response)
so that's been disabled.
* Debian jessie-i386-lxde (new install)
