Your XF86Config says you are using the vesa driver, but your log file
shows a problem with the SiS driver.
Anyway, I have a SiS 6326 PCI for, and it seens that it only works at
640x400 @ 8bpp with the vesa driver. Interesting is that it list this mode
5 times, maybe a hw implementation bug, as other cards will list 5 or more
modes, but all modes with different resolutions/depth.
If I boot my test computer without the kernel framebuffer, the sis
card will work with the vesa driver up to 1280x1024.
Using the SiS driver, the card I have works with 4.0.2 using "NoAccel",
or the 4.0.1 driver.
