If this problem still happens on the latest vanilla kernel sources (sys-kernel/development-sources-2.6.7), you should report it on http://bugme.osdl.org/. First you might want to check some of the tridentfb's options (Documentation/fb/tridentfb.txt) (if you haven't done it already). From what you've described, center/stretch, fp and nativex might be of some use here. Other than that, I'm afraid we can't help you.
