I can't do much more than tell you to find examples of XF86Config for your card with an Internet search and read the documents I already linked to. And if you have a documentation for your card, read it to know the right values, for e.g. the horizontal sync and other parameters

Well I did run the xf86config but it doesn't show the sis_drv.o file in the program.

It never shows the driver name, so that's normal.

If I type /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o in the command line it says cannot execute binary file

You never have to execute a driver yourself, it's used by the Xserver itself if it is properly referenced in the config file. But you never reference the file itself as you can see on many examples and reading the man pages.
