Someone at SiS must be laughing their ass off at the hell that they've
caused computer users with their graphics chips. Personally, I'm not
laughing.
I believe there was a suggestion earlier today to try using the
'noaccel' option in the XF86Config file.
Check the archives if you need further information... Personally, I'd
probably ditch the SiS chip and get a nice card.
