Re: SiS6326 chip and XFree86
The SVGA server in slink does not support this chip. You can just download the SVGA server from XFree86 website, and manually link it to /usr/X11R6/bin/X. Then edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config. You will need to set the following options on: Option sw_cursor Option no_bitblt Option no_imageblt Option noaccel Good luck.

Re: SiS6326 chip and XFree86
Hi I have an SiS 6326 up and running X, thanks to Carl Mummert. He down loaded the Xfree server for 3.3.3.1 XVGA16 and XVGA servers. He copied them over the 3.3.2 servers then edited the XF86Config file. We could not get the setup to run until we got that right, you likely will have to work in the dark. You can look in the mailing list archives for Carl's message regarding this. Or mail me back, I'll send you my XF86config file, and once I get my mail reconstructed from my crash of the mailer, I'll send his message to you. --David Teague: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux: Because the support is free and cheerfully given, not to mention almost _always_ correct and useful.

I downloaded it from SuSE at late October (It was dated Oct 5 or so) from SuSE, but it looks to be removed, so I think it must be already added on XFree distro. BTW, the 6326 support is not complete, all hardware functions just give image corruption, but it is better than nothing, and I'm using it on my PII-266 with 16bpp and works fine enough.

RE: SiS6326 chip and XFree86
I think XFree86 3.3.3.1 is coming with support of this chipset. But NOT using the accelerated S3 variant but the normal SVGA. -Mensaje original- De: Timo Reunanen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: miércoles 31 de marzo de 1999 22:12 Para: debian-user@lists.debian.org CC: recipient list not shown; @[EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: SiS6326 chip and XFree86 Does anyone know when XFree86 3.3.3.1 get some kind of fix to SiS6326 chip based cards like Diamond Speedstart A50 what I have? --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Quote from Heavenly Creatures (1994) Melanie Lynskey as Pauline Parker : She is the most unreasonable.

Re: SiS6326 chip and XFree86
I got one working a little while ago. Here's how: You have to go to xfree86.org and download the new XF_SVGA server (latest version). Put this somewhere, and make it mode 755. (You have to untar it, etc... ; put the actual X server somewhere) Now, edit /etc/X11/Xserver and change the first line to match the path and filename of the new server. You have mo make an XF86Config file. Use the text-mode xf86config program (note the case) to do so. At this point, it will start X but things may be very ugly. If they are, look in the README.SiS file on the xfree86.org site, and add all of the 'debugging' options listed there into your XF86Config file. At this point, everything should be pretty. If you like, you can try commenting out the debugging options, one at a time (with a # at the front of the line), until you see exactly which options you need. I believe that I had to turn on the 'no_bitblt' and 'sw_cursor' options; you may get diffreent results. This worked fine for me a woeek or two ago; hope it helps. If you have difficulty, mail me privately and I'll send you my (working) XF86Config file. Carl
