It come with a asrock mother board with intergrated 2D/3D video support. It work but it is buggy.
1) you may see the screen scroll off for awhile
2) in xv output, once in a while, a video frame may fry off to another location. you may also see strange color in that frame as well.
3) the default xv contrast is too high, you can reset it to 0 in xorg.conf
4) there are no hardware 3d accelation in linux yet.

In xorg.conf, it is recommended to use these options in the section of display card:
Section "Device"
Identifier "bla bla bla"
Driver "sis"
Option "UseSSE" "yes"
Option "XvDefaultContrast" "0"
Option "XvDefaultBrightness" "0"
Option "XvDefaultHue" "0"
Option "XvDefaultSaturation" "0"
