I have a couple test machines with integrated SIS video chipsets. Several flavors of Linux auto-detect the chips and install an x-server, SVGA I think. FreeBSD hangs during the installation if I try to configure X. Not a problem since I don't use X-Windows much but there is a difference somewhere. I understand there is a beta server for SIS but I haven't tried it.
