Informations are parsed anyway by X to your Logfiles /var/log/XFree86.0 or else kdm.log. Searchterm 'DRI' or 'rendering'. For example, turning DRI on here on my Deskbox with a MGA-chip with too less memory for direct-rendering causes - at different points in the log - the following announcements, errors (EE) and failures (--): (**) MGA(0): Option "DRI" "true" # ( this is from XF86Config-File ) (II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI # btw still run XFree 4.1... (EE) MGA(0): Static buffer allocation failed, not initializing the DRI (--) MGA(0): Direct rendering disabled Hmm. Just realize that's exactly what you DON'T want to see ;-) Anyway, you'll find something.

DRI for sis630 actually might be suppoerted by the 'stable' Xfree and at least the 2.4 - kernelversions. Would be the easiest way to check that out first, i think.
