I started to try to use Linux last weekend (still working on
this weekend) and had the same problems. I emailed support, and here
is what they told me:
The SiS 6326 has a known bug with the X window system.
On your Linux system is a file named /etc/X11/XF86Config . This text
file is made up of sections
that look like this:
Section "Device"
....(various entries here)
EndOfSection
You need to edit the section of this file called "Device."
If you have a card with 8MB of video memory, first try telling the X
server that there is only 4MB
present by adding the following line to the Device section of your
config file:
Videoram 4096
If you have a 4MB card, or if the above line doesn't help, try
adding the following line to the Device section:
Option "nolinear"
A drawback with this option is that colour depths higher than 8bpp
can't be used, but that is better
than nothing.
If you see problems when moving windows with KDE, try the following:
Option "no_pixmap_cache"
All of these problems with the SiS6326 video cards should be fixed in
the next release of XFree.

Yours will look a bit different.
Option "noaccel" might be the right way to write it now
though. You could try some of the options Mandrake
suggests as well (one to a line)eg:
Option "nolinear"
Option "no_pixmap_cache"
& change the line that says: VideoRam 8192
to: VideoRam 4096
