I am sorry to say but , With a sis62156c graphics display card u cannot get
more that 640/480, and also that u have only 1 mb vram so in Linux u will
get
only 8 bit color.
But it is possible to get Svga. Use XF86Setup
and in the cards go fort deatail setup and choose the sis driver give moddes
as
640*480 8 bit color
u r bound to get SVGA.
Bye enjoy good colors
