ok just some additional info.you might have already
done it, just double check anyway.
Resolutions also depend on the type of monitor
selected.
So if u select a 800 x 600 monitor and try 1024 x 768
, you wont get it.
just check if the resolution of the video card and the
monitor are compatible.
I used SiS cards long back, SiS6202 i think, had
problems getting those drivers.will lookout for them
and pass them on if I come across them.
cheers,

Yes, I do have a SiS card (6326), my older card was
6215. I would
suggest you to download the 4.x X servers (either
source or binary) and
give a try. They definitely support SiS cards with
good display
resolutions.

remember learnt that this might be a bug in theLinux driver for this
particular brand of video cards)video cards under linux
hence i would be grateful if any one using SiS
could point me towards the website where they gotthe drivers or how
they were able to get the correct displayanything greater than
