I think the original bug report here (NoDCC causes hang) has been fixed. I am currently testing the trident driver on an ancient laptop here, and it has many bugs, but this isn't one of them. The "vesa" mode doesn't work, and most importantly auto-detection doesn't work. Manually writing your own Xorg configuration and assigning driver as "trident" however, works fine.

What you need is:
        Driver "trident"
        Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"

At that point you get the proper response from Xorg:
(WW) TRIDENT(0): Option "NoDCC" is not used

So it simply skips NoDCC in the config file and in turn skips the hang.

I will be opening another bug report regarding detection.
