Just tried the latest CVS (17 dec 2001) on a SiS630 connected to a
normal CRT. X doesn't start at all :-)
Attached there is the log I found in /var/log.
Do you have any hints?

This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any
way. Bugs may be reported to
This seems to be very strange since X 4.1.0 works perfectly with this
XF86Config-4. I have an ASUS A1000 laptop.
I will restart it using 16bpp later (now I cannot)
and I'll try to look for a newer BIOS.
I will let you know, thanks.
Bye,

Ok, I just had a look to starting it with 16bpp. It works on CRT, it
doesn't on the internal LCD.
I also found a BIOS upgrade. I will install it and I will let you know.
Bye and thanks,
Giuseppe

GOT IT!
Every LCD problem was related to some BIOS issue! After upgrading to the
BIOS version 1.10a XFree 4.1.0 and 4.1.99.2 are working perfectly with
the SiS driver.
Thanks Egbert.

Now that it's Monday and you all read list mail again:
I fixed the sisfb driver for use with LVDS video (LCD) bridges including
the CHROMTEL 7005 TV converter. A lot of laptops using the SiS630 do not
use the SiS301 but this one instead.
The driver has only one problem: It doesn't know about
Addendum:
Egbert seems to be right with his assumption that X is spinning in a
waiting loop within the 2D engine when switching back to X from another
VT.
How do I know this? Simply set the option NoAccel in XF86Config-4 -
and it will work!
I think we will have to reset the accelleration

Well, after porting Egbert's changes into the 4.1 driver, this situation
is as follows:
1) Screen gets initialized correctly - as far as I can see. I have not
yet recompiled the kernel to try without vesafb, but I can switch modes
in X (CTRL-ALT-+/-).
Some further details on my testing:
I have now compiled the current CVS driver for 4.1 (required just
changing one line in sis_driver.c to get rid of xf86ReadDomainMemory()
(if i recall correctly) and replacing it with (old) xf86ReadBIOS(). I
don't know whether or not this is proper - but the

Egbert,
could you shortly describe what exactly you changed in the xfree drive

I guess this is all in sis_bios, I just copied the CVS files over the
