I thought i did, i pointed you to the archives and told you to use the search
engine to look for a keyword, the word is SiS.
Anyway, you have several options.
1) Read /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.SiS
If that file is not on your system go to;
www.xfree86.org
They have all the help and READme's on line.
2) Go to
www.suse.de
use the search engine there for SiS
3) Install xfree86-3.3.6 which now has more inclustions for SiS cards.
Try in your XF86Config the following under "Section Device"
If your card has 8Mb of memory try;
VideoRam 4096
Then try;
Option "no_accel" # Use this if acceleration is causing problems
Startx with
startx -- -bpp 8
Mostly all of the above is expained in the README.SiS
