This is typically a BIOS setting. Go into your BIOS Setup, look around
for an "init display first" option. Set that to "PCI" so the system
will look for PCI cards instead of the onboard card. If this option or
one like it doesn't exist, you may have to forget this motherboard and
buy one that doesn't suck. Or use the s3 or VESA X server with the S3
card.

This is so old it'd gag a maggot. It's time to upgrade to Xorg.

This is probably why X won't start; there's no BusID line in the Device
section for your Trio64 card or you only have a Device section for the
nVidia card. I'd need to see the whole xorg.conf file to tell exactly
what's wrong.
