There is a "sis_drv.o" in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers, so I'd guess
that's the driver to use. In fact, I quote from http://www.X.org:
2.5 Video driver enhancements
o SiS driver updates include
o output device hotplugging
o lots of fixes for 661, 741, 760 <<<<<<<----- HINT! HINT!
o extended interface for SiSCtrl?
o extended LCD handling (allow more modes)
o HDTV support (480p, 480i, 720p. 1080i; 315/330 series)
o Added video blitter Xv adapter (315/330 series)
o extended RENDER acceleration
Does that help?
