Check Rajesh Fowkar's article on setting up X for the 6215c.

Alternatively, use the xsis.rpm from the PCQ CD some months back.
Even better, be ready to grab a copy of this month's PCQ with
XFree3.3.6 which will recognise the card.
The SiS 6215 is not he best of cards, but it is fairly good if you
are not into gaming. Better options are a banshee, Cirrus Logic..
Even a SiS6326 with 8mb VRAM is a cheap but competent solution.
