The easiest way to deal with this would be to make the AGP video card
the primary video card from your BIOS configuration (assuming that it
has such an option). That way you'll be using the same card with XFree86
that you're booting on. The XFree86 server is showing the primary video
(the one you're bootting up with) to currently be the on-board SiS video.
Where do you have your monitor connected?
If you want XFree86 to run on the Trident card without making it the
primary you'll need to edit your XF86Config file to tell the trident
driver which device it should be driving. You can do that by adding
the following line to the relevant Device section of your XF86Config
file:
Busid "1:0:0"
A second alternative is that you really want to be using the built-in
SiS video.
[We should make busid optional in cases like this where there is only
one card the driver could possibly be wanting to use.]
