Hi Butch
as far as I know: SiS is not that good for OS/2 !?

Under OS/2 you need to learn the opposite way:
First check the HW frivers regarding OS/2, and with positive results,
accept a heritage ;-)

You will have much more pleasure with your OS and less troubles finding
accurate drivers ;-))
Your Video Card seems to be PCi !? Get a PCi Matrox Card from eBay !

Have a nice weekend !

Subject: SCOUG-Help: SiS video card driver

I just inherited an old AMD K-6 333mghz computer with a SiS 6316 video
card. I am planning on installing Warp 4 on the computer and am
wondering
if anyone has access to an os/2 driver for the video card. I've checked
the SciTech list and their video drivers will provide functionality for
the SiS 6326 card. I will try this driver, but am sceptical. I already
installed Libranet Linux on the computer and the auto detection part of
the install identified the card as 6326; however, when the system
started
after the install, the image was distorted and kiwampus. My thinking is
that perhaps the 6326 driver is not the correct one for the card. I
could
be entirely wrong in regards to os/2. The SiS site lists a 6316 driver,
but the link is broken and disfunctional. I am hoping that someone out
there has a SiS 6316 driver they would share with me.

Thanks,

Butch
