Hi..
I'm using mandrake 6.1 and SiS 6326AGP. At first i
also have the same problem like you but i can use SVGA
server, just that certain things in the display didn't
satisfied me. I visited SuSe linux and found that they
have driver for SiS. I downloaded it and voila!.. my
dislay is great. It's called XCom_Sis server. Try it
first. But now unfortunately, now i cannot boot my
linux since i upgraded the kernel.. hey that's not
because of the server. It's because of other thing..
still figuring it out ..so becareful before you
upgrade your kernel...
bye...
