I too have a problem with frequencies on SIS card and 1440x900 monitor. What was your problem?
Turns out I needed to put the following command into /etc/init.d/boot.local
915resolution 5c 1440 900 32
However, this is to correct a problem with the intel 945 chipset, I do not know if it would have any effect on an sis card. I found this solution with sever nights of googling.
Why not just change change line 18 of /etc/sysconfig/videobios to read:
VIDEOBIOS_PARAMETERS="5c 1440 900"

Well, Joe that sounds like a winner. After all of the googling I only found the 915 thing that I posted about. I found that result and gave it a try and it worked for me, I had know Idea about the VIDEOBIOS_PARAMETERS= setting. I have been using linux since about 1998 with an early red disto that I downloaded and installed from rpms. I have learned quite a lot about linux since then and am willing to try anything. To me the best move I have ever made was ditching windows. I have converted my wife and sons and they hate to even use windows at work and school. I am not a guru, but I consider myself to be a power user at least, so I am always open to learning.
