Does Xorg 6.9/7.0 support the old PCI graphic card S3 Trio64?

This is the result of lspci
01:01.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c764/765 [Trio32/64/64V+] (rev 
54)

There's no 3D label. So I think Trio64 and Trio64 3D are different cards.

My dual monitor work now. Xorg6.9 does support Trio64 and Trio64 3D
