ok, I went back to source code and had a quick look.  since the screen
is set wrong, i placed a fudge in the code to test.  since I didn't want
to take chances the fudge was for 1024x768.  Xorg.0.log now has

(--) SIS(0): Detected LCD/Plasma panel (max. X 1024 Y 768, pref.
1024x768, RGB24)

xorg goes on to detect the resolution but still doesn't display an
screen.

 If I switch on the xorg.conf Option "VESA" "yes" I get an
Xsession.....So, clearly something else is going on here -

Can someone who as a LAPTOP with SiS671 graphics card & Widescreen LCD
that works - post a copy of there Xorg.0.log so I can compare there
output to mine.  It may provide further clues as to what I need to
change.

Many thanks

Terry
