I found the problem and the solution. The XF86_S3 server that comes
with the CD does not support the new cards fonts. I got the new server
from ftp.xfree86.org:/pub/XFree86/3.1.2B/FreeBSD-2.0.5. Here is an
extract from the release notes:
2.6. S3 server
o Workaround for the hardware bug in some new Trio32 chips that
causes font corruption. To enable this workaround, add the
following line to the Device section of your XF86Config:
Option "trio32_fc_bug"
This is one for the database
