I've managed to get a decent, but not quite satisfactory, 800x600 16bpp
display using xf86config. I'm shooting for 1024x768 16bpp @ 72Hz or
better, and am having trouble getting there.
Running XF86Setup vanilla results in a broken display immage (grey
screen, hitting arrow keyes results in a black bar of varying widths
appearing vertically on the screen.
On a hunch, I moved the XF86_VGA16 binary to a different location and
symlinked :
$ ln -s XF86_SVGA XF86_VGA16
This results in a working display, though at a fallback internal 320x200
resolution -- too small to be able to read the 640x400 XF86Setup
dialogs. This machine doesn't currently have a functioning mouse, so
it's not possible to pan through the display to reach various screen
componenets.
I've tried modifying the default Config-1 script that SF86Setup uses as
a configuration file for its configuration session, however I'm unable
to get the initial session to run at anything other than 320x200.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I don't think this is an issue addressed by more recent versions of
XFree86, though I wish it were.
$ apt-get update; echo y | apt-get dist-upgrade
...should do you:
For source lines:
# apt package archives
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free
Note also that it was mentioned that issues with the SiS 6326 have been
raised several times recently on list. I only find two hits since June,
2000, though list-archive search efficacy has been on the low side of
good in recent memory.
