I had/have problems with my SiS 6326 card. I downloaded the latest
XFree86-server, that solved som of the problems (strange colors etc.) I
also used the "no_accel" option in my XF86Config. There are still some
problems with the mouse-pointer and a few other things, when I start a
term (doesn't matter wich one) for example, it creates black areas
wherever i move the window and the fonts in the term doesn't seem to work
too good either.
