Hello,
It's nice to see that there's someone else except me using Mandriva/Mandrake as well. Unfortunately, I have a bad news to tell you, SIS video cards do not perform very well at 3D gaming in Linux. In fact, SIS does not support all their products in Linux, and neither does the company release any specifications for community to develop Linux drivers. Sad

I would suggest that if you can upgrade for a new video card, go buy a new one. Both ATi and nVidia video cards have very nice performance in Linux, though most people would recommend you buying a nVidia due to better OpenGL support. However, if you are on a laptop or intergrated chipsets, you're probably run out of luck. Alternatively, you may want to try Thomas Winischhofer's unofficial SIS drivers, but in most cases it usually doesn't make any difference.

Regards,

You-Cheng Hsieh
