Thnx for the info... I'm currently using the driver from your webpage (Downloaded and tested yesterday, it works great.) I have a Sis630 in my CLEVO 2700C Laptop. I did encounter some small problems, but those were all my faults (for not reading the instructions well enough). The only thing I haven't gotten to work is sisfb console. (I used vesafb upto this week in some high res 132x60 I think). When trying sisfb on the console I get more 'bleeding' LCD's... but not in X. So for the moment I use normal VGA console and sisfb in X :) The Xv acceleration is great, although 3d stuff (mostly tuxracer/cromium) is still very slow (glxgears gets 120 fps) This is on a P3-1Ghz Thanks for the updated drivers, and keep up the good work. I hope your patches also make it in the debian Xfree packages so I don't have to patch them again :) Mark Janssen Unix / Linux, Open-Source and Internet Consultant @ SyConOS IT E-mail: mark(at)markjanssen.nl / maniac(at)maniac.nl GnuPG Key Id: 357D2178 Web: Maniac.nl Unix-God.[Net|Org] MarkJanssen.[com|net|org|nl] SyConOS.[com|nl]
