I have a m/b with a sis 5?97/98 video card and I suspect that sis make crap onboard video controllers. On this computer w98 would keep dying with segfaults in gdi.exe - which i believe were video related. In one resolution mode, it would crash when using the scroll bar, in another resolution mode it would crash when expanding directories with the little '+'. When I had debian running on this computer previously, when you went to 1024x768 vertical 'noise' lines randomly appear on the screen. The fact that they are pushing XSiS_SVGA seems to indicate they may be trying to work around h/w limitations. I have only recently put woody on my sis'ed computer and will try to reproduce what you mentioned. However, we both may end up having to get a propper pci card. hth, mark.
