after i put the file in there, where do i change in XF86Config (or in the setup program)the chipset??

Well, I'm hoping that if you run Xconfigurator after installing that driver that it will detect your card, but I don't know for sure if it *should*. Might want to do a "man Xconfigurator" for some other options as well.
I would suggest making a backup copy of the existing "sis_drv.o". Then copy your "Sis_drv.o" to "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o" (note that the driver is all lower case) and make it executable "chmod +x /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o".
Also you might want to make a backup copy of "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards" and then edit it and add an entry under all of the SiS cards with your own entry. A copy of the "SiS 630" section might be a good candidate. Then just change the 630 to 650 and the SiS630 to SiS650. Then you should be able to do an "Xconfigurator --listcards" and see the SiS 650 listed. Without having a card I can't test it to see if it will work.

Xconfigurator doesnt check for new cards (or hardware), does it? Doesnt kudzu do that detecting stuff?
I did Xconfigurator --kickstart (because its supposed to auto detect the card that way) and it said that the server didnt exist.
My chipset is not there when i did Xconfigurator --listcards
There is a place in the XF86Config-4 file for modules to be loaded, would i tell it to load the driver there?

Sorry, reread my previous post. I modified it while you were replying to it. I think my last suggestion will get you going.. I am fairly certain that kudzu will have nothing to do with this X driver or modify the "Cards" file.
