Sis 315 with Mandrake 10.1 Problem

I have a Sis 315 graphic card on an AMD 1800 with one Mitsubishi LCD 18 in. This setup is OK with Mandrake 9.0. I recently do a fresh install of 10.1 OE and I noticed the following problems. By the way I have downloaded the latest driver from winischhofer but this does not seems to help.

 

1. I cannot directly boot to KDE login screen. This will result in a blank screen.

2. I can login using safemode then init 3. If I start "X" it will result in a blank screen. If I type "KDE" then it will bring in to the graphic interface. However if I try to logout it will result in a blank screen. Blank screen means completely black.

3. For all instances that I see a blank screen, seems the machine has been lock and I have to use Ctrl-Alt_del to boot up the machine.

 

When I checked the Xorg.0.log there are no error lines. Sis 315 and the monitor seems to be correctly detected.

 

The following is the Xorg.conf :
