OK if your using an SiS card you should more than likely install xserver-sis # apt-get install xserver-sis Then run XF86Setup and pick your SiS card. Backup you /etc/X11/XF86Config file first though so you can fall back on your old config if the new one fails. You say you have X working but I think it would run a little nicer for you if you used the SiS driver.

The LAN card will need a module installed. I looked at - http://www.uni-paderborn.de/Linux/mdw/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html and didn't see an SiS LAN or sound card listed. You might want to post a separate tread on that topic. hth, kent -- From seeing and seeing the seeing has become so exhausted First line of "The Panther" - R. M. Rilke
