I have the same video/motherboard combo. I am currently running, Cooker
with audio/video/networking all functioning fine. I had a very difficult
time getting the networking module working. I popped a new (Intel Pro) into
one of the pci slots and everything works just great. I highly reccomend
that you download and use the Suse X-server for SIS. It makes X faster,
more stable, and more responsive than the standard SVGA X-server. Also, OSS
provides sound drivers (if you feel you need them) for the Cmedia 1838 chip.
The Davicom network card was my stickiest point. BTW, this board runs
BEOS really well in case in one wanted to know. Hope this helps thanks

Subject: [Cooker] on board sis 620 and mandrake 6.1 or 6.5
Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 18:30:13 +1100
my first attempt with linux-Mandrake 6.0 on a 586 computer with a video card
worked ok.
I upgraded to a pc100 motherboard with onboard video ( sis 620) with 8 meg
of ram, and found that the display was unusable
What I would like to know is, if I purchased LINUX-MANDRAKE 6.1 or 6.5
would either of these be compatible with my system
