Alan, I know that chipset (SiS 6325) quite well. It was once necessary
to download a special driver for it, but now the driver is included in
the Xfree_SVGA drivers(don't use the VESA driver). XFree version 4.1 should have no 
trouble with
it. If the problem persists either get the latest version of XFree or
go back to the last of version 3 (3.3.6 If I recall) and use Xfree_SVGA.

Stay well and happy
Heracles
