  Thanks. Any help would be appreciated

 Hi Anthony,

 Try adding the following line to the Device section of the
 /etc/X11/XF86Config file:

 Option"no_bitblt"

 The second and better solution is to visit the Suse web site at
 www.suse.de/en and search for the Xsis X server. Install this on your
 system and then create a symlink to it from
 /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_SiS. Remove the
 Option"no_bitblt" from your XF86Config file (placing a hash # sign
 in front will rem it). It ought to work perfectly with full acceleration
 and high resolution.

 Hope this helps.

 Regards,

 Steve
