Well, SiS DRI is _very_ experimental.  It's not officially 
supported, but is included because a few users have requested it 
and it works for them on their hardware.  The SiS 620 is the only 
chip I know works (because Alan Cox has one and made it work).

Other chips may or may not work however.  You're also using a 
custom driver from elsewhere, which is perfectly fine of course 
if you're trying to get it working, but you'd be much better off 
I think on the xfree86@xfree86.org mailing list, since your 
question isn't really a Red Hat specific one, and the people most 
likely to be able to help are not likely on this list, but might 
be on the XFree86 list.

Try xfree86@xfree86.org is my suggestion.  I believe Thomas reads 
the list.

Hope this helps.
