Today I found http://www.winischhofer.net/sisdri.shtml.
Seems to be the xfree86 sis maintainers website. I disabled DRI and my
SiS 730 worked as expected. I hope this helps someone.

sis_dri needs sisfb -> in 4.2.0-0pre1v2 a nogo. Maybe I give new driver
versions a try and report it my possible success.

so long
