All I can suggest is that you try the latest sis driver.  Thomas has a
very comprehensive web site for his driver
<http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsisvga.shtml>.  You can download driver
updates from there too.

I don't have any sis hardware and I'm not familiar with the driver
myself, so there isn't much more I can add.
