I found the following in a news magazine : Visit

      Running X on SiS cards
      Setting up SiS 6215-based display cards to run the
      X Windows System on Linux
      There were quite a few questions on our Linux mailing list on
configuring
      X for PCs using SiS 6215-based cards. Many computers these days come
with
      SiS 6215-based video cards, and users have had problems running X
windows
      on them. After some experimentation, I was able to get X up and
running
      with a SiS 6215-based card. Here is what I did.
      For using X with SiS 6215-based cards, you'll need XSiS X Server from
      XSuse. The XSiS X Server and xf86config files are on this month's
CD-ROM
      under /Linux/sis.
      Installation
      You need to install the XSiS rpm and the xf86config program. Use the
      following commands to install the rpm on your machine.
      rpm -i xsis.rpm
      cd /; tar xvfz xsuseconfig.tgz
      Configuration
      Now we need to configure the software.
        Run xf86config command. Select your monitor details, etc. From the
cards
        database select 405 (SiS86 C201) as the card. DO NOT run X probeonly
        now.
        Let the xf86config set up the symbolic links for the X Server.
        I did not select any RAMDAC.
        Complete the installation of X. This creates the file /etc/XF86
Config.
        Set up a symbolic link to XF86_SVGA (this is the driver selected) to
        point to XFCom_SiS using the following command.
      cd /usr/X11R6/bin; ln -s XFCom_SiS XF86_SVGA
        Add the following line to the device section of /etc/XF86Config
file:
      ChipSet "SIS86C205"
      Now we are all set. Run "startx" or whatever and enjoy!
      I don't know how the X Servers work. Neither do I know about video
      hardware. So I might have goofed in some places. If you find that
there
      are better ways of doing this, please send mail to
