Probably no one replied because no one knows anything helpful (or at least
no one who is online over the weekend - Monday may bring more help). Here's
the little I do know, probably not much help:
1. The card name reported by SuperProbe is NOT on the list of supported
video cards in the Linux Hardware HowTo (at sunsite; dated last July),
though 3 other SiS cards are listed. This list refers to X11 support,
though; the fact that you get a command line seems to suggest that it works
okay in text mode, much as any VGA-compatible card should.
2. What else segfaults besides emacs? Saying "application like emacs" isn't
very precise. If the problem is only with emacs, I'd suspect a bad install
of emacs causing a problem unrelated to the X11 incompatibility.
3. As to the X11 failure, what do startx and the apps it calls write to
STDERR? (It should be on the screen when you revert to the command line. Or
if there is a lot, you can capture it to file with "startx >xerrors.txt
2>&1".) What XServer are you using? Does startx fail with the very generic
servers, like XF86_SVGA, XF86_VGA16, or XF86_mono (I may have these names
slightly wrong, as only the first of them is on my Linux boxes)? What are
you using to create /etc/XF86Config (xf86config? XF86Setup? XConfigurator?
something else?).
