False alarm.  Your card is supported.  I found this 
at http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/Status28.html#28 
-----------------------------------------------
4.2.0: Support for the 964 (revisions 0 and 1), 
968, Trio32, Trio64, Trio64, Trio64V+,
-----------------------------------------------

However, I also found (elsewhere) that the framebuffer (fb) 
requires VESA 2.0.  It does not work with VESA 1.2 (which 
is what the Trio ^64+ is).  What effect (if any) this has 
on XFree 4.2.0, I do not know.

Cheers,
Steven
