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.
