run xf86config, that is a good utility to configure X

look for SIS cards with similar model numbers when you choose the driver. a lot of the time you'll find a compatible driver for a card in the same model series.

sorry about my previous post, telling you to do what you said you did, I misread it in my hast and thaught you had looked at the XF86Config file, not that you ran xf86config :-P
