I have an Asus laptop with the same problem.  X and sis630 don't work
very well together.  The best way to do this is by recompiling the
kernel and enable the framebuffer.  Once that is done add to your
lilo.conf  vga=791
remember to run lilo before you reboot
you should be able to 1025x768x32

and I'm running xXFree86 4.1.0

OH and use framebuffer driver not tie sis driver.

Let me know if you have problems.
