Suse has a number of xservers for chipsets not supported by xfree86 (yet!),
among them are some SiS cards. A new version of Xfree86 was just released,
with some more support, but suse's page says their servers still have more
features (to be combined into xfree86 soon). Look at
http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html
