I had the same problem with the 6326.  You get graphics but blacked-out text.  I'm 
sorry but I don't believe there has been a fix
for this.  Xfree86.org says that the next version should resolve this situation.  Look 
at this page for the bad news
http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/#A50 .  What I did was went out and bought a better card 
that was compatible.

>>Hello everyone.
>>
>>I am installing Mandrake on my Athlon box, and am having trouble with my
>>video card.  It is built by Biostar, who also makes my motherboard, and has
>>the SiS 6326 chipset (win2k tells me it is an "SiS 5598/6326" card).  It is
>>an AGP card.  I can't get it to give me a display - and the closest I've
>>gotten is a full color, correctly sized desktop that doesn't allow me to
>>read text.  Anytime any texty is displayed, it appears as a black block
>>character.  How do I set up this card in the installer properly?
>>
>>Thanks for the help
>>Brian
