I don't know anything about Linux, but I doubt if it's all that
relevant.  I certainly had no luck with the SiS630 under FreeBSD
using XFree86-4.0.3, but I have it working OK with XFree86-4.1.0.

It's giving me 1024x768 properly positioned on my screen (while
the earlier releases gave me 640x480 offset an inch or two down
and to the right).  The only glitch at present is that it only
does 8-bit colour, but at least it gives me something I can work
with.  I think it's worth upgrading to 4.1.x if you have this
chip; and maybe later releases will have the colour problem
fixed.
