I've been using a Videologic GrafixStar 300 with a S3 Trio 64, with no problems.

ctrl
ctlr 0xC0044="VideoLogic GrafixStar 300"
link=vga
hwgc=s3hwgc
ctlr=trio64
That's what I can remember, you'll need to check the details (I'm at
work at the moment :-( ).
The nice bit is that since everything is on one chip, the
board manufacturer can't do anything to mess you up.
BUT!!
I've now got a 4MB VRAM #9FX Motion 771 with a 220Mhz IBMRGB524 and
an S3 Vision968 controller, which I've failed to get talking in
anything other than standard VGA mode. Does anyone have the magic
voodoo for vgadb, or will it require some more code? The drivers for
the ramdac and 968 are all there, but stringing them together has
proved beyond meagre abilities.
