SiS Driver crashes X on startup

[John Ries]

X server version: 1.14.3
OS: Slackware Linux 4.1
Hardware: x86 (32 bit; AMD Athlon)

X starts normally if I use the vesa driver (xf86-video-vesa-2.3.3) but it
fails if I use the native SiS driver (xf86-video-sis-0.10.7).  xorg.conf
and log are attached.

Efforts to run xorg without a configuration file, or to generate a
configuration file using either "xorg -configure" or the Slackware
xorgsetup utility fail with a segfault.

Info on the video controller (courtesy of lshw) follows:

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
