	No, I think that I know what is going on. Could you please send us the output 
of "dmesg"? I guess that you do not have AGP support in your kernel, and 
maybe this is causing the sis driver not to load. Your system chooses to load 
plain vga, not sis, I do not know why.

	There is a line that puzzles me:

(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(--) Chipset generic found

	Please send us the requested output in order to advance towards the 
resolution of this bug.

	Best regards,


		Ender.
