Probably using software emulated OpenGL.  You might try looking into the
MESA (DRM/DRI) project, perhaps they'll have something that will work
with your card.

First time I've heard of someone actually buying a SIS videocard...

That is by far the most likely possibility, but not knowing how much RAM
your videocard has, I can't really say.  It's possible it's some sort
of bug in the driver, or some inherent limitation of the card.  In
either case, buying a decent card (NVidia preferably--ATI if
you're masochistic) will work.
