I have a GoldStar also, and can get X up in only 640x480x256. What chipset
version is your trident (8900?) ?
Try putting tvga in your Xconfig for the chipset definition, and put 25 as
the only clock. Then try to get the 640x480 mode up. It should work.
Anything thing you will have to play with, as I couldn't get it to give me
a workable picture.
