I've got this chip set in my son's machine and had it working with both
3.3.2 using the xsis.rpm from SuSe and it is supported in the 3.3.3
distribution under the SVGA server. I didn't change the XF86Config file
on the upgrade to 3.3.3 so it mightn't be that well optimized.
I will do more than tell you what I did, I will give you an excerpt.
------------------------------------------------
Section "Device"
Identifier "SiS 6326"
VendorName "BXpro"
BoardName "onboard"
VideoRam 4096
Option "sw_cursor"
Option "noaccel"
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
-------------------------------------------------
With "hw_cursor", 8192 and not having "noaccel" it didn't work
properly:-(
