This is because there are problems with the SiS cards and probably the X
server itself. You *can* get most of them to work, but you basically need
to tell the X server to use the card as a framebuffer with minimal
hardware acceleration. (btw, the kernel fbcon does work with these cards,
but not all that well)
You need to put the following lines in your /etc/X11/XF86Config
file in the Device section that lists the SiS card:
Option "no_bitblt"
Option "no_accel"
Option "sw_cursor"
IMHO, these cards are crap, but as I said, you can get most of them to
work.
