Welll... good and bad news... the support for the SiS620 is now present in the
new XFree86 3.3.4... The bad: The deb's for the new XFree are still under
work, so you won't find them yet in any ¨regular¨ Debian distribution...

As for the vid memory... I've heard that these on-board AGP video cards
share the ¨regular¨ memory with the remaining of the system (well, this is
what I've heard, but I haven't had a board like this im my hands to check
yet).
