I had the same problem, with an AGP SiS 6326. The install program mis-identified
the SiS board as an ATI Mach 64. In /etc/X11/XF86Config, look for the section
'Device' and add the options 'no_accel' and the amount of ram (4096 or 8192). This
is what mine looks like (I didn't change the identifier):
"Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Mach64 VT (264VT)"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Option "no_accel"
VideoRam 4096
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
The look for the same identifier in section 'Screen' and change the driver to
'SVGA'. Here's mine:
# The accelerated servers (S3, Mach32, Mach8, 8514, P9000, AGX, W32, Mach64)
Section "Screen"
Driver "SVGA"
Device "ATI Mach64 VT (264VT)"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
EndSection
That fixed it for me. Good luck.
