Zantera , are you using the sis card or the Diamond a50 ??
Sax and xf86setup both go as far as loading a black or gray screen then
goes no further.
xg86config works. but is a pain.
The diamond a 50 driver gave a big square curser and black on black text.
Some one said there is a setting to fix this , I havent tried it.
Next I swithched to the plain vanilla sis6326 driver , then took out the
comment for "no accell" , then start x via startx -- -bpp 16 . This will
force it to 16 color mode. the 8 bit collor mode acts realy wacky.
This has given me a somewhat "usable" desktop , that does act wacky at time
, mostly on screen refresh and repaining screens. But it runs somewhat.
You may want to play with your monitor setings. I am using a mag dx17t .
The only other agp card I have tried was a borrowed diamond V550 . Works
like a charm.
According to LenZ , the sis uses several series of chips , and this is
causing the probvlem.
Hopefully we will hear somthing soon.
