I have my Sis5598 going OK in linux.thanks to SuSE who have a file of SiS
drivers at www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE E.html (something like that) the file is
called xsis.tgz the original xf86config file does not have the Sis drivers in
its menu so there is a second file you need to replace the xf86config file
its name is xsusecon.tgz (forget about XConfigurator )
