AFAIK the new informations from SiS are still doesn't working. I have this
SiS630 chipset too and I must use VesaFB for correct chipset initialization
and correct settings. VesaFB must have the same resolution and bpp which
I want in X. And I can use accelerated functions in X (not FB) by ugly hack
in sis_driver.c like, so it leaves settings from VesaFB and functions like
SiSPreSetMode(pScrn) and SiSSetMode(xf86Screens[scrnIndex], mode) are
skipped. I have this driver (precompiled) available on my pages
http://www.v0jta.net/gericom/gericom.php3?&menu=4#vga with all steps how
to make this chipset working with linux.
