I am not familiar with this type of hardware. Is that fb kernel module
loading as the result of some configuration you made, or it just happens
by default in Fedora? Should we blacklist it entirely by default?
No it is a bare bones install. I set up a thin client because I couldn't use the kvm client, qemu is too slow and keeps stealing the mouse and won't give it back.
X (without xorg.conf) isn't recognizing the PCIID of the video card thus
it isn't trying the trident driver?
X does seem to know that the trident though, just seems to want to use the fb.
It looks like the frame buffer module loads when udev starts. There is a flash from the monitor then it goes back to the console.
Please provide lspci -vv and lspci -vvn from this machine. You can
attach it in a reply.

The lts.conf -> X configuration stuff has undergone some rewriting

rewrite.
