Burkhard,
	Here is what I noticed:

1) The Xorg log file shows that there is no Monitor definition.

2) You *are* getting the SIS driver loaded.

I tried going to the URL listed above.  It is for sale.  Does Fedora
know this????   Hmmm, a quick google shows that the site has moved to
www.winischhofer.net.  Perhaps a quick update request should be filed
for the driver so it reflects the correct URLs.

Lots of good information on that site, including a section on
troubleshooting problems.  I don't know if you've been there or not, or
if its even up-to-date (the driver seems to be dated 2005) enough to be
useful, but it might be worth looking it over.


3) The combination of the SIS driver and the default monitor ends up
throwing away most of your higher resolution modes leaving you with
960x600 or less for your resolution.

This appears to be where your problem lies, though I'm not sure what's
different here, other than there is *NO* mention of EDID anywhere in
your log file.  Does the SiS driver not support EDID?  If that is the
case, you may wish to create a file for your Monitor that specifies the
the correct limits of your monitors hsync, vrefresh, and max pixel clock
and put it in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory.

Something like:

> Section "Monitor"
> 	Identifier   "Monitor0"
> 	VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
> 	ModelName    "LCD Panel 1280x800"
> 	HorizSync    31.5 - 90.0
> 	VertRefresh  60.0 - 60.0
> 	Option	    "dpms"
> EndSection

That section above is from my laptop, change the values to match your
monitor.  If you specify the correct HorizSync and VertRefresh for your
monitor, maybe the SIS driver won't through away the modes you are
looking for....
