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):

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "ELSA-TRIO"
    VendorName  "ELSA"
    BoardName   "WINNER 1000TRIO/V"
    #VideoRam    2048
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Driver      "accel"
    Device      "ELSA-TRIO"
    Monitor     "Belinea"
    Subsection "Display" 
        Depth       8
        Option      "power_saver"
        Modes       "1280x1024" "1600x1200i" "1600x1200" "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" 
        ViewPort    288 216
