Hi all, I had a similary problem, I have a laptop Gericom with a chip SiS630 so if it's not done, you have to download the drivers for you video card from http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml and follow the instruction :
for the kernel you have to download the file sisfb_srs_160209-1.tar.gz ( http://www.webit.at/~twinny/sis/sisfb_src_160902-1.tar.gz ) but check on the web site if it's the right file. and after : ~/sisfb_src_160902-1 $ cat README Installation instructions: Copy all *.c and *.h files EXCEPT sisfb.h over the existing ones in [kernel-tree]/drivers/video/sis. Copy sisfb.h to /usr/src/linux/include/linux and over eventual other copies of this file. If you experience compile errors, you have missed sisfb.h. Further, please use my Makefile (or patch your's accordingly) otherwise the acceleration code will not be linked (which results in errors, of course) For kernel 2.5.34 and later: 1) You need to change the Makefile in /drivers/video/ in line 90 like this: obj-$(CONFIG_FB_SIS) += sis/ cfbimgblt.o 2) For hardware accelerated 2D, set the kernel option "CONFIG_FBCON_ACCEL" ("Hardware acceleration" in menuconfig) /Thomas in fact, me, I forgot to copy the Makefile from the source sisfb_src_160902.tar.gz in [kernel-tree]/drivers/video/sis so if I had just copy the makefile and everythin was ok for more information, I give you an advice to follow what is write on the web site yoann Anders E.
