I have an SiS (think it stands for Silicon Integrated Systems?) 620 AGP card 
with 8 megs of memory on it.  This is great, except that it doesn't work.  I 
tested all the hardware in Windows 98 before installing Linux.  I really don't 
want to have to go back to Micro$oft for my graphics card to work.

The card won't even run in 320x200x256.  At least I could get my friend's 
laptop to run 320x200 on the standard Svgalib driver. (grin)

If anyone knows what I could be doing wrong, or where I could find a copy of 
Svgalib written for an SiS 620 AGP, that would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Ethan
