After googling a little bit, it seems that the combination of VIA PCI devices (1106,XXXX) with the trident graphics controller (1023,8500) is found quite often, which makes me believe the trident is on-board, and the SiS is a SiS 300 PCI card plugged into a PCI slot of the main board.
So, if you want to avoid the on-board (=trident) graphics, you need to use the SiS driver. Information on that driver is provided at http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsisvga.shtml

Well, the SiS 300 comes in two flavors, one PCI and one AGP version.
