I'm glad that the install went well when installing with those options 
at install time. I guess for the lack of proper video detection, running 
/sbin/lspci -n and submitting a bug report with that information should 
que the developers onto your computer's pci ID numbers so FC7 and above 
should recognize your video card automagically..

I submitted a report as advised for the sis lack of detection problem. 
As an example, here is the vague report that I submitted.
