I think the Sis card can be configured similar to the Cirrus logic card.I was only
able to get 640x480 with 16 bit colour and I think the Sis card will also give the
same results.You need to remember that the vsync is I think 50 and Hsync 31 or
so.The best way is to use a calculator to get a custom modeline that gives optimum
results.This is tough but I am currently working on that.For a TV out card you
should be able to get an image using the vga16 server with monitor as generic
monitor as this is supposed to be similar to the NTSC standard.
