I have an SiS 730 card, and am trying to get 3D acceleration to work under linux.
I have tried Nvidia drivers but these failed giving a message "Device not found" in the XFree log.
Does anyone know what drivers I should use, and how to configure them?

If you are installing the Nvidia drivers you are going about it ALL WRONG. You have a SiS card and you are trying to install drivers for a different card... That is like trying to play an X-Box game in a GameCube, it just doesn't work. What you need to do is search for SiS drivers for Linux. I believe they did release some drivers but I have no clue how good they are. You might be better off throwing down $70 on an Nvidia Geforce FX 5200... considering Nvidia has the best Linux drivers and it will absolutely destroy your SiS 730 graphics card.

It's all there.But don't think that thing will do much good anyway.It will work but not too fast and there are memory mapping issues with some games.Almost forgot - the last time I tried gentoo and debian (was testing me thinks) supported 3d out of the box when you set the xfree file up right and pass the correct parameters.

I posted this a while ago now, and have managed to solve the problem. Thanks for the help hough, that was the site where I found the drivers, although it did work anyway once I recompiled the kernel.
