SiS cards, even if detected (like 6326), are driven by the SVGA X Server, instead of the I'm not sure but the jazzy icon colors,plethora of small icons on taskbar,the brilliant color schemes (themes) (especially in GNOME) must be taking some VRAM right? In case of 6215 there is meagre 1MB or 2 MB in some cases. I always thought that drivers made for a specific hardware were much better than those made for a generic ones. Maybe that's the problem. > >. Playing movies.... > >are you sure you want to do this ? ;-) > > Why not? My Athlon 600 MHz w/ a 4MB SiS 6326 plays movies fine as long as they're under 640x480 pixels.
