Your log says:
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS630 GUI Accelerator+3D rev+49, Mem @ 0xd0000000/27, 0xdd000000/17, I/O @ 0xc000/7

but then it also says:
(II) LoadModule: "vga"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/vga_drv.o
(II) Module vga: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
        compiled for 4.4.0, module version = 4.0.0

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Man vga says:  "The driver supports depths 1, 4 and 8."

So, it appears you're trying to use an unsupported depth.

But more basically, is there a reason why you don't want to use the
sis module that should be the preferred driver for your video card?

HTH,
