X server version: 1.14.3
OS: Slackware Linux 4.1
Hardware: x86 (32 bit; AMD Athlon)
X starts normally if I use the vesa driver (xf86-video-vesa-2.3.3) but it
fails if I use the native SiS driver (xf86-video-sis-0.10.7). xorg.conf
and log are attached.
Efforts to run xorg without a configuration file, or to generate a
configuration file using either "xorg -configure" or the Slackware
xorgsetup utility fail with a segfault.
Info on the video controller (courtesy of lshw) follows:
*-display UNCLAIMED
description: VGA compatible controller
product: 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display
Adapter
vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]
Possibly your problem's root is not having noaccel option enabled. A search
this list's archive might turn up something helpful.
I have this software and hardware on openSUSE:
0a:03.0 VGA compatible controller: XGI Technology Inc. (eXtreme Graphics
Innovation) Z7/Z9 (XG20 core)
xf86-video-sis-0.10.7-7.9.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.15.99.902.2-2.1.x86_64 (aka 1.16.RC2)

working with this xorg.conf file:

Maybe it can work as a framework for you to create a usable xorg.conf
matching your display. Most likely you will not need DisplaySize, which is
there to force a specific DPI. Most don't need to disable DPMS as I do
either. All lines starting with # can be omitted. If you get it to work, try
again with NoAccel line commented out, then report back here your results
with and without.
When attaching logs, please append .txt to each so picky web browsers will
open them instead of wanting to save to disk first before they will open them
as the plain text files that they are.
