Try to run some application from the same console device and watch the screen, like in: # Xorg & # DISPLAY=:0.0 xclock & maybe the server is up and running, but you don't think it is? > I don't know how to resolve this problem.

Try to post a full Xorg.0.log using the SiS driver, as it seems to be the best working one for now. I do not know if the driver supports full modesetting (i.e. widescreen resolutions not offered by the video BIOS). Best regards, Sebastian
