Hey, look, everybody!  Jon's gonna' post a followup about a SiS chipset! :)

Have you checked the SDB (http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/index.html)?  There
are a few posts about your chipset (which, I might add, was my chipset many
moons ago).  Just doing a search for `SiS 6326' yielded four sdb articles, two
of which are useful, two of which basically say `keep your pants on, we're
working on it'.  Give that a shot...

I will also say that XFree86 3 did a rather poor job of supporting these
chipsets; some worked flawlessly, others were heavily flawed.  Mine was
heavily flawed.  If you're not afraid of GNU make, you might want to look at
the XFree86 4.0 project, and see what's going on there :).
