From http://www.winischhofer.net/sisdri.shtml states the following.

"There is no DRI support for the SiS 315/550/650/651/740/661/741/760/330."

This means you are out of luck getting 3D rendering working.

You can just buy a video card that will do what you want.

The problem is a have a PC-Chips with all onboard and without a AGP slot! I donīt want to buy a pci card, so I will need to wait until upgrade the motherboard and cpu, to buy a AGP or a PIC-E card.
