Hi Rajesh,
FYI, SIS cards were problems with most of the distros. There was an article put up on
the ilug bom site www.ilug-bom.org/sis (I am
not sure whether it still exists) for the same or you may find the necessary
information on suse site. (i guess its www.suse.com)
In any case, since you are new to linux and if you intend to use only SIS card, I'd
recommend you to consider suse linux rather than
fighiting your way through other distros.
Seshan.
