Default Monitor compatibility problem with SiS graphics adapter

I have enough experience with SiS to make sure no SiS components make it
into my PCs.

Does anyone have experience with the SiS 741 Graphics Adapter [software
ver.
3.59]?

This chip is integrated into the AS Rock KS741 motherboard in my p.c. (AMD
Athlon XP 2400+, 512MB RAM). The p.c. is working fine with the exception
of
the display.

My monitor is a Iiyama TFT LCD Monitor (ProLite E430T). I have loaded the
latest SiS drivers and selected the correct Monitor inf file supplied by
Iiyama.

The display is not functioning correctly (on booting up, the Windows
desktop
has a wavy, shimmering appearance and then the screen blacks out after a
few
moments). The display looks fine when I change the monitor to a CRT type.

My OS is Windows 98SE. When I click on Display Properties/Settings and
choose "Advanced..", the Driver Mode Settings in SiS Utility Manager do
not
allow me to select "LCD" (only "CRT"). The LCD box under Support Modes is
greyed out.

Any thoughts on why the LCD option is greyed out, and whether this may
indicate the source of the problem?Does anyone have experience with the
