Same for me.
At least it seems to be an 9385:

lspci gives:
00:0c.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems TGUI 9660/968x/968x (rev d3)

startx output gives:
(--) Chipset tgui9660 found
[...]

(--) TRIDENT(0): Found Cyber 9385 chip

I would expect that to be the real chip type.

As you can see I limited the vrefresh to 50-65Hz to get it working

I don't have any problems like that but it's only a 800x600 tft display.
