I have tried attaching the log file but it seems the cookies get lost on the way... I specify the URL instead. I see now it reports five errors: (EE) SIGIO not blocked at xf86eqEnqueue

Thanks. It appears that this is probably a bug in the SiS driver not saving/restoring properly. Please report the problem in X.Org bugzilla, at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component, so that it gets assigned to the SiS driver maintainer for investigation. Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Setting status to "NEEDINFO_REPORTER", and awaiting upstream bug report URL for tracking. Thanks in advance.
