No, you are right, you have to start SaX with:

ax -s svga

the vga16 server, which is started by SaX as default
for configuration,  doesn't work with the SiS6326.

There are several different steppings of this 
chipset. Some of them need special options, e.g. 
in order to switch off graphics acceleration. 

If you have more problems, edit the file 
/etc/XF86Config and enter the line 

Option "no_accel"

in the section Sections "Device". If this is not 
enough, please also try the lines 

Option "no_linear"
Option "no_linear"
Option "sw_cursor"

in addition. The consequence is, that you can only 
run the server with a color depth of 8 bit and without 
any acceleration.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
