Uhm, are you sure of that ? The order of the sections in XF86Config
don't matter. The XF86_SVGA server only looks at the "SVGA" screen
section, and the "accelerated" servers (XF86_S3, XF86_Mach64,...) only
look at the "Accel" session.  

Could you send us the two versions of your XF86Config file ?

Also, as other have mentionned, try with XFree86 3.3.6 (you can get a
binary distibution for OpenBSD 2.6 at:
<ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.6/binaries/OpenBSD-2.6/>).
OpenBSD 2.6 only has XFree86 3.3.5. There were several SiS chipset
fixes in 3.3.6.
