I think the Sempron is a 64-bit capable processor, so it makes sense that a amd64-* module is loaded even though you're using a 32-bit operating system. Anyway: (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory is telling, for some reason /dev/fb0 didn't show up when you loaded the sisfb kernel modu

I've found a workaround that makes the sis driver display colours correctly, in the right resolution. When I make sure the sisfb kernel module is loaded prior to X being started (for instance by adding it to /etc/modules), everything seems to work like it did in Hardy - completely fine, that is.

By the way, while the vesa driver produce correct colours, it's not a fully satisfactory workaround, as X ends up using a resolution of 800x600 which looks really horrible. The native resolution of the display is 1280x800, which the sis driver is using correctly. So with Intrepid I need to choose
