I just read from Xfree86.org about sis630 support.
It was supported (maybe as 2D only) in XFree86 3.3.6, but not yet in XFree 4.x
I installed only 4.1. That's why I got segmentation fault.
I am hopping that it will come up in XFree 4.3.0

How much shared memory did you use?
How big is your AGP apperture size?
Can you get DRM to run (in other word, can you run Chromium)?

I thought sound wouldn't be a problem if you turned sound blaster 
compatibility on from the bios and then compile your OSS sound module as 
sound blaster. Just an idea.

Kernel 2.4.18 has more support for sis chips, but it's still flacky and 
possible doesn't work at all.
Don't install SIS DRM support for XFree 4.1, it won't compile.

M810 motherboard seems to create a lot of problem.
Interestingly, Mandrake 8.1 works.
