Hi Leonard Read ur Mail. For your reference i am again sending the Monitor
Specifications.

Sorry for mailing u again but i am newbie and i cannot afford to Change
Monitors. Ok. any way i am going to apply these changes only after one of my
friends comes back from his trip. He also had faced the SiS problem and i am
frowarding ur mail for him to read. will tell u the Results as Soon as
possible.

I even went through  the XF86Config file on my sys.
i Found the Following types of 50 Lines
# 644*400 70Hz 31.5 KHz HSync
Modeline "644*400" 25.175 640 664 760 800 400 409 411 450
Thanks.

  Hi Srinivas!

 I have an SiS 6326 in one of my machines. I include a stripped down
 version
of the XF86Config for you. Take care though! I am not sure what monitor
you have. Please read the comments. (Disclaimer: I am not responsible if
you burn your monitor:).)
 I use an 800x600 72Hz resolution for this machine. Almost (=not) all
 monitors
can do 800x600 56Hz  Substitute the value for Modes in the Screen section
if necessary. If you are not sure, please use the Generic Monitor
(substitute the Monitor in the Screen section and substitute the Modes
with 640x480).
 Note that you also have to replace the values for the mouse, keyboard etc

settings. You can probably use these from your existing XF86Config. You
should use the SVGA server.
 If your monitor starts looking funny, switch it off! You wont burn it
 within
one second (well, maybe you will;)). Ctrl-Alt-Del should reboot the
machine cleanly.

    Good luck with this,

    Leonard.
