ok, I went back to source code and had a quick look. since the screen is set wrong, i placed a fudge in the code to test. since I didn't want to take chances the fudge was for 1024x768. Xorg.0.log now has
(--) SIS(0): Detected LCD/Plasma panel (max. X 1024 Y 768, pref. 1024x768, RGB24) xorg goes on to detect the resolution but still doesn't display an screen. If I switch on the xorg.conf Option "VESA" "yes" I get an Xsession.....So, clearly something else is going on here - Can someone who as a LAPTOP with SiS671 graphics card & Widescreen LCD that works - post a copy of there Xorg.0.log so I can compare there output to mine. It may provide further clues as to what I need to change.
