I'm not sure but I think that the newest version of the X 3.3.6-(something) can handle that trident card too. (Not tested by me, but I think that I read it from somewhere...)

Found it on www.linux-laptop.net. This site describes some points of installation from linux on armada. Jaxi, the maintainer, says that: "Installation of X is simple.

I got one of those, vga driver it trident cyberblade and 4.1 version from X supports it. I'm running mine with sid, the ACPI's DSTN-table of this laptop is non-standard. But visit at www.linux-laptop.net and look over there. The DSTN - table can be fixed. ( but I'm not sure that it will run on M$ windows after this )
