I had heaps of trouble getting my SiS6326 videocard to work. I've got it
working fine now, i.e., I don't have to settle for an ugly 8 bit display.
This is what I have in my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config that made it
work:
# Graphics device section
# **********************************************************************
# Any number of graphics device sections may be present
# Device configured by Xconfigurator:
Section "Device"
Identifier "My Video Card"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
VideoRam 8192
Option "no_accel" # Use this if acceleration is causing problems
# Option "fifo_moderate"
# Option "fifo_conserv"
# Option "fifo_aggresive"
Option "fast_vram"
# Option "no_linear"
# Option "pci_burst_on"
# Option "xaa_benchmark" # DON'T use with "ext_eng_queue" !!!
# Option "ext_eng_queue" # Turbo-queue. This can cause drawing
# errors, but gives some accel
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
# **********************************************************************
note: I had to use Option "no_linear" before I set DefaultColorDepth 16(below),
otherwise I'd get nasty 'scarring' on the screen when I dragged a window.
# **********************************************************************
# Screen sections
# **********************************************************************
# The Colour SVGA server

Driver "svga"
# Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256
#Device "Generic VGA"
Device "My Video Card"
Monitor "NEC MultiSync XV15"
DefaultColorDepth 16
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"

EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"

# Omit the Modes line for the "Generic VGA" device
Modes "1024x768"

EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
