For starters, you appear to be using a stock Red Hat Linux 7.2 
installation with zero updates applied.  Your first step, would 
then be to upgrade the system to the latest official Red Hat 
update packages for 7.2 prior to doing anything else.

You should also be aware that Red Hat Linux 7.2 is no longer 
supported by Red Hat (nor is any 7.x release, nor 8.0), so you 
are using an obsolete OS release.

The version of XFree86 shipped in Red Hat Linux 7.2 is XFree86 
4.1.0, which itself is now extremely obsolete.

For these reasons, you are unlikely to get any kind of "URGENT" 
solution other than people suggesting that you upgrade your 
operating system (or XFree86) to a newer release which better 
supports your hardware.  The SiS driver is now very actively 
maintained by Thomas Winischhofer nowadays and is much superior 
in 4.3.0 and current CVS.  Red Hat Linux 9, Fedora Core 1, and 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 all support XFree86 4.3.0, and either 
of the 3 would be better than using an unsupported OS release 
with an unsupported XFree86.

Hope this helps.
