I'm in similar straits :-(. I had a working setup with a TGA2 card, and decided I should be able to do better than depth == 8. I've been unsuccessful in getting a no-name SiS 6326 card to work in any mode other than text. Unfortunately, too many things had to change before I could even attempt to use the SiS 6326, because the "sis" driver was omitted from the earlier xorg packages (6.9.0.dfsg.1-whatever). At least I verified things *were* working with xorg 7.0.something before I swapped out video cards, but at this point there are so many things wrong I can't figure out where to begin other than to try going back to the TGA2 hardware for a while. As things stand now, I've got mostly 7.0.22 packages installed (xorg, x11-common, xserver-xorg) and the latest xserver-xorg-video-* packages. 2.6.17 and 2.6.18-rc1 kernels are generating Oopses whenever I attempt to fire up the X server (sample Oops output for 2.6.17 kernel below -- it's brief, if not terribly useful). Gotta say I've seldom had a machine so broken that was still usable :-). When things settle down a bit, I think I'll try a Radeon 7500 and see if that gets me closer to where I think I want to be. The opening "unaligned trap" messages are supposedly nothing more than warnings, but they are still an indication of something being not quite correct, and "hald" is generating them too. System is a PWS 433au (Miata).
