Guix already has 'xf86-video-sis', and it's already included in
%default-xorg-modules in (gnu services xorg).  So, now we just need to
find out why it's not working.  Maybe one of the other video modules
guesses that it can support the hardware, but it actually fails?  In
that case, it might help to move 'xf86-video-sis' higher up in the list
of modules to try.

      Regards,
        Mark
