ce chipset sis6326 est supporte dans Xfree 3.3.5. SIS esy un des rares
constructeurs de cartes a parler de support linux (voir
http://www.sis.com.tw/driver/driver.htm).

En l'occurence il renvoie sur la page de Suse qui a deja mis tout ca en
boite dans tar.gz ou un rpm. Personnellement je te conseille de
recuperer le tar.gz , de n'extraire que le binaire du serveur X11 et de
le substituer a celui actuellement installe sur ta distribution (une RH
6.0 ?)
Voir http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/

Dans ce genre de cas le premier reflex a avoir c'est le site deja.com.
En tapant "xfree sis6326" tu obtiens tout de suite la reponse a tes
questions.

Par contre cote 3D les drivers ne sont pas prets du tout (Mesa/Open GL).

A+

PS: Merci de faire savoir si tu reussis a faire marcher ta machine ca
peut en interesser d'autres.

From their README:

    f. Add following lines in "Device" section in XF86Config
            Option "hw_cursor"
            Option "noaccel"
            Option "no_bitblt"
            Option "linear"


Uhhh... love it... yeah boy it does really look good... but only when
you don't scroll or even move pictures around...

After waiting for almost a year for improved SiS6326 Xfree performance,
I have changed my mainboard last week... now using an ATI Rage Pro and
this is what I expect: super fast, no kernel freeze with bttv etc...

Get me right, I don't want to blame anybody for not improving the SiS
drivers... I just was tired of waiting and not able to improve them
myself :-)

Regards
Steve

P.S. PCChips M747 PII Board for sale: SiS6326 and Sound with S/PDIF on
board... :-)
