SiS Cards just don't seem to work on Linux.
Well I Have a SiS6215C (well you know - great card)
This is what I did to get it working under RHL 6.1
The file xsis.rpm should be available from S.u.S.E Linux Website ,I
suppose.
I got one from PCQ CD.
#rpm -ivh xsis.rpm /*Install xsis.rpm */
#Xconfigurator
( Choose SIS86C205 or SIS86C201 -Doesn't matter )
#cd /etc/X11/
#rm X
#ln -s ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XSuSE_SiS X
#vi XF86Config
Go to the section
Section "Device"
Add a line
Chipset "sis86c205" /*For SiS6215C users*/
or
Chipset "sis6326" /*For SiS 6326 users*/
Note I have not tried this option ( i.e. SIS6326),hence you can't hold me
responsible for anything.
Try Starting X with
#startx
Note :
(i) If your mouse pointer appears as a big square ( or rectangle ) ,
then add the line
Option "no_bitblt"
just under the Chipset line.
I think SiS6215 should be working now.
(ii) For SiS6326 users try out the options
Option "no_accel"
Option "fifo_moderate"
if nothing seems to work.
To all the SiS Card experts out there.If You Find any mistakes in my
mail or you have
better ideas sent them.Remember many Indians use SIS Cards.

Configure your sound card first !! have you done that ???
For playing VCD;s in Linux, use MTV which is available from
http://www.mpegtv.com
amiyadas> 4.How to open the files created in Win98 in LINUX & Vice
amiyadas> Versa through a Floppy.
Use mtools for dos floppies. If you want to see floppy contents do a
mdir etc.,.
amiyadas> 5.I have installed Java Development Kit from PCquest
amiyadas> CD.I have a little space in harddisk.How to Uninstall
amiyadas> it.
I think you just need to delete a complete directory. I dunno which
one. Some one ???
amiyadas> 6.Is there any software like
amiyadas> DiskDifragmenter,ScanDisk,etc. as in Win98 in Linux.
First of all, a Linux File system does not need defragmenters cause
there is little or no fragmentation in Linux. Still if you are
paranoid,
you can check out e2defrag at http://freshmeat.net
amiyadas> 7.The dialog boxes spread out from the screen area,it is
amiyadas> very difficult to operate.I fill a lot trouble in
you have setup virtual screens I suppose which you will have to
disable. Someone volunteer to tell what it is ?? :-)
amiyadas> Linux.Windows98 is very iteractive.
Well, I would suggest you to have some patience and try out things.
Time will come when you wouldn't want to leave linux.
best of Luck and Welcome once again.
