[XFree86] startx hangs - SiS 740

["Ossie Guy" <ossieguy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brand new Cybertron machine, installed Mandrake 9.2, everything works great 
so far except X - startx produces a blank screen and hangs there. Tried the 
new Mandrake XFree86-4.3-24mdk rpm compiled Oct. 7 and also tried the 
precompiled sis_drv.o from winischhofer.net. Same result each time, just a 
black screen, no errors that I can see. I have to Alt-F1 to get my shell 
back. Any ideas?

Motherboard: M810D
Chipset: SiS740 (and SiS962L)
