Look into /usr/X11/lib/X11/doc/README.SiS:

[...]
1.  Introduction

This driver was primarily written for the SiS86c201.  It also works on the 202
and the 205 chips.  Support for other SiS products is not available in XFree86
release 3.3.2.  Drivers for the 5597/8 are currently under development and
should be available in the next release.
[...]

Ciao,

; sorry, at the moment the
english version of the XSuSE web page isn't up-to-date.  In essential,
the web page says, you should use the server only, if you know how to
deal with alpha software (crashes are possible, bug reports are
expected, etc.).
