Your X server is too old. It was released before the SiS 650/740 was.
Options:
1) Download an updated driver from my website and explicitely state
Driver "sis"
in your XF86Config-4 (because the ati driver during probe thinks it identified some ATI chip).
2) Run Debian sarge (testing) or unstable.

dual monitor info is far and few between...
info ==== Laptop: Viper M270S by eurocom eurocom.com Chipsets: SIS Video: 1 x 14 '' LCD 1 x AGP 2nd Screen: 17'' Compaq V75 Mouse: Logitech mx700 User Input: on board touch pad and 2 buttons ram 750MB OS: winXP / Debian (woody with 2.6 kernel) Boot manager: Boot Magic as primary, LILO for Linux Options Distro method: Base CD and then net install Pertinent included pckgs: xfree86, x windows, tcl/tk, desktop
History:
I have run Cygwin in the past ok
I have also run RH9 successfully.... due to project requirements I'm switching to Debian
Problem: Easy enough, the x server wont go... I have include the log, pci scan and config files
I figure I need to find out what Device ID to put into the "Device" section
Tried the following and none worked
0:0:0, 0:1:0, 0:2:0, 0:2:2, 0:2:3, 0:2:5, 0:2:6, 0:2:7, 0:10:0, 0:11:0, 0:12:0, 1:0:0
now I know that 2:0:0 is a WLAN card in the PCMCIA slot
0:10:0 is ethernet
0:2:7 is audio
0:0:0 is just listed as SIS 650
0:1:0 is listed as sis SG86c201
when I use ID 1:0:0 I do not receive a Device error so I am not conviced this is the problem, but can't interpret the output of the log to pin point it
I've managed to get RH9 running two headed in the past but I have exhausted the regular roots... perhaps the DEBOOTSTRAP setup did not configure properly
Any ideas?
Goal: 1. Get my LCd to run a x-server 2. run dual head probably using Xinerama (or what ever its called)
Cheers
