My guess is that the SIS driver doesn't work well as a secondary card (that is the one the bios didn't POST).
That might be true for that old version. Try the current one from www.winischhofer.net which works excellently if SiS cards are secondary. (Well, depending on a sane BIOS, that is. If the card can't be POSTed at all, the driver can't do much about it.)
If you can change something in the motherboard bios to get the SIS card to be the primary (the one the console comes up on), that may help.
Also, you might want to see if you can get the SIS card to come up all by it self as the only card. Just as a sanity check to make sure it actually works with any drivers.
It doesn't look good though. Even that old driver recognized the card and could read all setup-data from the registers (memory, clock speed etc). This does not happen that way if there were POST problems.
The log entries about shared resources should not appear in any case. This points to a pci configuration problem.

Hello y'all I'm not sure if this is the place to ask the question, but I will throw it out there and see if anyone can help me. Anything offered is much appreciated.... A friend of mine, after getting kicked out of his house by his wife, was giving away some of his stuff so that he didn't have to move it all. Anyway, I got a really nice monitor out of the deal for free. So I wanted to try and implement this dual-head xinerama deal. I got it working with this REALLY old video card as my second video card, but it was real buggy (and I think it is because of the unreliability of that old card). I went out and bought a new video card (by necessaty(sp?) a pci card since I already have my agp slot filled) from the local computer guy by a company called Kaser, SIS series. This uses the sis chip and according to their website works with the vga and vesa drivers. (website:http://www.kasercorp.com/vgafaqnf.cfm) Using
X -configure
I get the attached XF86Config.new file Which seems to recognize the video card. But when I try to run X with the -xfconfig for the new config file, I get the attached error log. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. In attempting to get this working, I've learned a good bit about the XF86Config-4 file, which is neat. Thanks,
