Why my SiS Integrated Graphic can not support 1440x900 resolution?
If your SiS integrated graphic (SiS650 series, SiS661 series, SiS740, SiS741 series, and SiS760 series) can not support 19" WXGA for 1440x900 resolution, you may check some information below:
1. Update the latest UniVGA3 driver, you may download from Download Center. 2. Check your VBIOS version, go to "Control Pannel"->"Display"->"Settings"->"Advanced"->"Administrator"->"Product information", and you can see the VBIOS information, please check if it is updated to 2.28.00 or later. 3.

How can I get the SiS TV-OUT function enable?
A: SiS TV-out function supports both NTSC and PAL system. You have to select the one which matches your TV system. In general, it is controlled by a jumper on the motherboard or the graphics card. We suggest you to check your user manual out for the setting. The following is the instruction to connect to TV: 1). Connect with TV by either a S connector or an AV connector. 2). Boot the Win95/98/ME system up then you will find the tap SiS TV-OUT under Display Properties. Choose the display mode to VGA+TV or TV Only then you can get the TV-OUT. 3). If using Windwos 2000, there isn't a tap under Display Properties, Please set your display mode on 640*480 60Hz for NTSC, or 640*480/800*600 50Hz for PAL to get TV-OUT. Don't set your display mode to other mode for TV-OUT, most TV set can't support other display modes except above mode.

Does SiS6326 support VESA 2.0? Where can I get the driver for it?
A: Yes, SiS6326 is compliant to VESA 2.0 specification. Because the codes have been included in BIOS, SiS6326 can support VESA 2.0 compatible programs directly without needing any extra driver installed. If there should exist display problems or compatibility issues, one can try to update SiS6326 BIOS by the file Tsr.exe. (File Tsr.exe is on SiS6326 Win98 driver page) In this way, the VESA 2.0 supporting can be updated at the same time and the VESA program compatibility can be enhanced.

What is the difference between SiS6326AGP and SiS6326DVD? How can I tell which type of them is used in my system?
A: SiS6326 has three types. Their model names are SiS6326, SiS6326AGP and SiS6326DVD. The model name of a chip is marked on the top surface of the chip itself. However, usually a heat sink is attached on the top side of a chip so users cannot see the model name directly. If a Windows user would like to know which type of them is used in a system, he/she can check it out under "Chip Type" of "Display Properties". There is a hardware version shown over there and the below table gives the relationship. Their differences have been listed in the table as well.

What's the difference between a GPU chip and an integrated graphics chipset (IGP)?
A: The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a microprocessor that has been designed specifically for the processing of 3D graphics and is a true processing unit. It is the heart of graphic card, such as VGA card and on board VGA. An Integrated chipset is a chipset that has 2D / 3D graphics functionality integrated. As for GPUs, SiS has these GPU products: Xabre600, Xabre400, Xabre200, Xabre80, SiS315, SiS315E, SiS305, SiS300, SiS6326 series, SiS6215 series, SiS6205, SiS6202 and SiS6201.
And for integrated graphics chipsets (IGP), SiS has these integrated chipsets: SiS760, SiS661FX, SiSM661FX, SiSM661MX, SiS741, SiS741GX, SiSM741, SiS651, SiSM650, SiS650 series, SiS630 series, SiS730 series, SiS620, SiS530, SiS5598 and SiS5596.
