If anyone is unfortunate enough to have a SiS 5597 or 5598 video
adapter, use SaX to configure it under SuSE 6.0. I was wondering why i
couldn't access the higher colour resolutions, and as it turned out,
xf86config confused 5598 as having only 2M of video memory, as does SiS
5597. These settings can be accessed under SaX, and makes a HUUGE
difference in the quality of both colour and graphics. SiS 5598 has 4M
video memory - enough to get 24 bpp colour under an 800x600 resolution.
Magical effects!!

A word to those who are thinking of upgrading to 6.0 - do so!! The
improvements in the ease of use of Windowmaker - among other things -
are fabulous..

Once the Rockwell hardware is supported, SuSE will have reached
perfection...
