hurra..... well i almost found the driver for it, but the link didnt work for some reason.

voidmain:
I've got a cheap desktop system that I bought a couple of years ago from Microshack for $325. Is a 475Mhz AMD K6-2, 64MB, 4GB drive, on board sound and video (SiS 620).  If I remember right RedHat had no trouble with this chipset but yours is newer so.. I could post my XF86Config-4 if you think it would help.  I must say that I am not happy with the video speed with that shared video memory. Although it does work a regular video card such as a Geforce would blow away the onboard stuff that uses the shared system memory.

I just checked the RedHat compatibility list and the 650 is not listed, however I found this link:

http://www.linuxtested.com/results/asus_p4abt2101.html

that states the onboard 650 does work on the ASUS main board and at the bottom of the link they list a link to the driver that should make it work...

And a side note, the link at the bottom of that page is incorrect. It *should* be:

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/beta/mb/driver/Sis650_rh72.zip

If that doesn't get you going, check out this link:

http://www.webit.at/~twinny/linuxsis630.shtml

This looks *very* good!

i found it at webit.at
yesterday i tried a link to webit.com/tw/sis630
but i guess it was an outdated link or something, because it didnt work.

Master of Reality:
this file that i download from there is named sisdriver.2436625(not the actual numbers shown) i have no clue what to do with this file (or what the file is), and it doesnt explain what to do with it. Got any ideas?

the other file (sis650_rh72.zip) is sis650.o what am i supposed to with that file?

My guess is that you would stick it in the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers directory.
