You don't tell us what you are using. One machine I have has an onboard
SiS 6326 with 8Mb, and have run on 1024 x 768 with no problems. I use the alpha
SIS server & X 3.3.3.1.This alpha server lurks I believe on the suse site,
among other places (www.suse.de, or www.suse.com). I wish I could say the same
about my S3 Virge card in this beast. Look out for the Sis server.
