I had what sound like similar problems with a SiS card (sorry, I don't
have the model number handy right now) and 3.3.5 on 3.3-STABLE the other
day - solid black patches where fonts etc should be. Turning on the
option "no_bitblt" did the trick, but you really notice the speed reduction.

I just sent back the card and got an ATI Rage Pro instead - I'd never
used SiS cards before so I assumed they weren't properly supported by
the XFree people.
