Hi all,
    I have just loaded redhat 5.2 onto a system using an integrated
motherboard containing a SiS530 video chipset onboard.  Has anyone had
any luck in setting this chipset up under X.  The SiS help on the XF86
site did not work (wrong chipset?) and a web search shows little .  Even

basic vga/svga servers at 640x480x16 don't work.  Works in windoze at
vga and is fine in console text mode.  The symptoms look (something)
like the monitor cannot lock to the frequencies generated but the
monitor (multisync) display shows they are correct for the resolution
selected.  When the hot-key is used to kill X, the console text is
garbage and stty sane does not work - have to reboot.
