I don't know about X's drivers on Sis videocards. In my personal opinion Sis sucks and I'll never use of their chips, but that's just my opinion. I can play some .avi files with Noatun which came with my KDE 2.2.2, I do still have problems with DiVX .avi files, but my collegea saw some linux DiVX codec or something..... I'll have to look it up some time. The DiVX lib I found at noatun.kde.org doesn't seem to do anything at all, but perhaps I'm not doing the install correct. Don't remember precisely, but I didn't see anything in the file to link the lib to noatun and I don't believe it does so on it's own..... Perhaps the codec is just old and maybe it plays only old type of DiVX, a lot has changed in that world. Personally I have no experience with Xine. Did you buy your SuSE distribution? You're supposed to get 3 months of installation support :-) and this appears as an installation problem to me.
