No. The ONLY change I made was to comment out the no_accel line. I left the
sw_cursor line in (which seems to be required for my particular card). I've
got a Diamond Speedstar A50.

If you read /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.SiS, you'll see that hardware
acceleration is supported.
Without acceleration turned on, my card is painful to use. Dragging a window
is slugglish and jerky.
