Konstantin,
I have the same chipset and have managed to get it to work with XFree86
3.3.6 and 4.0 in L-M7.0. There is a thread in the expert list archive
you could check under SiS6326 where I posted my XF86Config file. Run
Xconfigurator or xf86config and set the values for your system and
desired resolution and color depth but do not test. Then edit (I
recommend using midnight commander) the /etc/XF86Config file by going to
the section Device configured by Xconfigurator (or xf86config) and under
the lines Device, Identifier, Driver, VideoRam add a new line:
Option "sw_cursor"
just like that. There should be other options listed and in my system
they are all commented out. Save and at the command line type startx.
It should work. You will need to edit /etc/inittab file to
id:5:initdefault if you want to routinely start X on bootup. Good luck.
