The XFree86-4.01 has some problems with SiS 6326 (and some 530s and 620s but not 540s and 630s) yet. (I have tested the SiS 530 and 620 sets and seen noise, ghosts, etc on 4.01 and they still work, with acceleration, in 3.3.6. Of course, some of the new 3D games are not stable on them no matter what--their accel is easily beaten with an old PCI-SVGA card and a Voodoo 2).
