Bug#245249:

[CE <ce7@sbcglobal.net>]

	I recieved an e-mail from Thomas Winischhofer regarding this problem.  After trying a few things X was working once again, but with an updated sis_drv.o file from his site.  I've pasted in the e-mail below.  In short the solution seems to be to incorporate Thomas' updated driver.  I'll also respond with the output file requested.

I am "the X team" ;)

Debian ships a snapshot of the driver from last June. Seems that this 
snapshot was buggy.

Anyway, I think Debian's X packager has an update of the SiS driver on 
his todo-list anyway.

Nice to hear that the current driver works, however.
