Hi,
The following option should solve the problem of text appearing as
black boxes on SIS cards
Option "xaa_no_color_exp"
The XF86_SVGA manpage states that text with black bar problem
occurs because of hardware color expansion problem with some
cards. I had the same problem with my SIS6326 card but including
the above option solved the problem.
BTW the option has to go into the "Device" section of the
XF86config file.
Regards,
Moinak.
