hi guys,
Any body uses the XFree86 4.0.1 X server on a sis6215
or 6326 card.I some how configured the new format
XF86Config file and used the sis driver with chipset
as sis530(not documented but works).The Driver docs
say it supports SIS86C215(6215) but the XFree86
program gives and error that 86c215 is not
supported.But making the chipset as SIS530 starts the
X server with acceleration,glx and dri,cinerama
support etc.But after five to 10 minutes the display
becomes blank.I could find that the X programs are
running.Blindfolded I opened a terminal and played a
wav file using the play command and I could shift VTs
and login to vt01.But do what ever the display is
blank and the monitor light becomes orange(no
signal).I even tried disabling
acceleration,GLX,DRI,Xkeyboard supports one by one.but
still the display vanishes in five to ten minutes.I
tried this config the same machine under
solaris 8 with XFree84 4.0.1 for solaris.and I dont
have this problem.
But The same problem occurs when I tried on another
machine running RH7 with the sis6326 card.Anybody else
had faced this prob?Is there a fix for this.any bug
fix releases?
thanks
regards
sanjeev
