I have some furhter information which may help.

It would appear that I have a SIS 760 video card which uses shared video
memory.

The system is unusable as after a short time of use I get drawing errors
on the screen and then the system irretrievably crashes.

The person who seems to support the driver for this video card
(http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsispart1.shtml#13) wrote

My advice: Don't buy a machine with a SiS760 unless this machine has
dedicated local video memory.

I have tired lowering the graphics resolution, which helps a tiny bit
but the system still crashes.
