Not all SiS chipsets are supported by the current driver. DRI is only available for the 300/540/630/730. 2D accelleration is also supported on the 530 and some older 55xx chipsets. 640/740/315/650 are currently subject to development. I don't know about the 305, I'd need to know the PCI ID to tell you more. (Install the card, boot Linux, type "lspci -vvv" in the console and send me the output.)
