I have one of these cards, and had a helluva time getting it to work; I even read the doc for this card (usually stubborn trial and error lets me build with other cards). To quote: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.SiS "The generic VGA driver doesn't work with 6326, so XF86Setup can't be used for this card. Please use XF86Config instead." Then there's other disclaimers for problems with snow, black screens, etc. I used XF86Config to create a useable X GUI (running Windowmaker) with this incantation: SVGA at 800x600 and 8bpp However, when I start it up, I have an irritating 1 inch square of white where the cursor should be. The first time I right click, I get a cursor, but my blue wallpaper turns white; other than that, works great ;) If you come up with a better recipe, let me know.
