That's what I get for me with XFree86 Version 3.2 (FBSD-2.2_BETA):
(--) S3: PCI: base address not correctly aligned or address conflict
base address changed from 0xf4000000 to 0xf8000000
(--) S3: PCI: Trio32/64 rev 54, Linear FB @ 0xf8000000
(**) S3: Option "power_saver"
(--) S3: card type: PCI
(--) S3: chipset: Trio64V+ rev. 541
(--) S3: chipset driver: newmmio
(--) S3: videoram: 2048k
(--) S3: Ramdac type: s3_trio64
(--) S3: Ramdac speed: 135
(Note the warning about the base address.)
The card is a ELSA Winner 1000 Trio/V.

That's what I have in /etc/XF86Config, i.e. nothing (special):

VendorName "ELSA"
BoardName "WINNER 1000TRIO/V"
#VideoRam 2048
EndSection
Section "Screen"
