Most likely after you set up everything in Xconfigurator, you can escape
to console mode and
edit
/etc/X11/XF86Config
In the Devices Section that mentions the Jaton/Trident add the line
Option "noaccel"
The SVGA server under XFree86 for the Trident tried to accelerate all
modes except 24 bit color depth, and it works for a lot of cards and for
some mothewrboard chipsets. The Jaton is a corner-cutting
implementation of the Trident Chipset and cannot handle accelerated
mode. Actually, not cheap in quality but in design.
I'd give you a 90% chance of success with that one change.
