Hmm... I don't see your chipset listed anywhere here, but recent XFree86
releases have support for several SiS chipsets. I have a:
(--) SVGA: chipset: sis6326
(--) SVGA: videoram: 4096k
in this machine, and it just started being usable in 3.3.6. In 3.3.5, it
only worked in 24 bpp, there was no text display in other modes. It's
still a little buggy, but it works reasonably well.
From README.SiS in 3.3.6:
2. Supported chips
SiS 86c201
(External hardware clock)
SiS 86c202, SiS 86c2x5, SiS 5597/5598, SiS 6326, SiS 530, SiS 620
(Internal clock synthesizer)
The above are supported by the SVGA server, however, If your chip really
is a 85c503, I'm not sure where you look next. Perhaps try a more recent
XFree86 SVGA server.
Later...... <Doug>
