I can't help him with the 2.6 frame buffer neither. That driver is based on the "official" framebuffer driver released by SiS long time ago. It uses register table from vga bios image so there is a lot of code doing table parsing. It is totally beyond my knowledge.
Unfortunately, that driver is not maintained by SiS any more. You probably should ask the independent maintainer Thomas Winischhofer http://www.winischhofer.net/

But after setting the videomode with fbset (the same mode that should be set after booting) framebuffer works. So i hoped it can't be that difficult.
Are you sure about the "official" SiS driver? For me the 2.6 SiS driver seem to be nearly the same Thomas Winischhofer released on his site. And he stated that he had no help from SiS.
