um, even for windows, you should have "Plug-and-Play OS" disabled in the
bois..  The bios is almost always better at assigning IRQ's, etc.

from what I've heard, use Thomas' latest drivers (he wrote the "default"
ones, too, so they're both "his")  as for xf86config, here's the Device
snippet from mine:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Videocard0"
    Driver      "sis"
    Option      "XvOnCRT2"  "true"
    Option      "ForceCRT2Type" "SVIDEO"
#   Option      "ForceCRT2Type" "TV"
#   Option      "CHTVOverscan"  "false"
    Option      "CHTVOverscan"  "true"
    VendorName  "Silicon Integrated Systems"
    BoardName   "SiS 315/650"
    VideoRam    65536
EndSection

I've bumped up the video ram setting in the bios, so set that setting
appropriately.  the overscan stuff doesn't work unless you grab Thomas'
latest drivers.  I still need to do that, though.
