hi LV,
which sis card are you using.if you is using sis6326,you can use XFree4.03
and if you are using 6215 etc get back to old XFree3.x svga server.I have
installed mdk8.0 on a sis6215 and it by default installed X3.x fbdev server
at 16bpp and continueda fter install also.but I foung that the new vesa
server in XFree4.x is great.I supports all vesa modes plus it can do
antialiased fonts.so just put the line_ Driver "vesa" _in the appropriate
section in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.if you are using 6326 use_ Driver "sis" _.
Make /usr/X11R6/bin/X symlink to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper and /etc/X11/X
symlink to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86.This Xwrapper is needed for kdm to start
properly.
but remember if you configure manually do not use mdk controlcentre or
drakeX/XFdrake to configurte again.that will revert back to fbdev or whatever
mdk is programed to set for your card.and dont worry abt the button 5 zaxis
mapping.mdk uses that for all mouses AFAIK,so that scroll mouse works.
regards
sanjeev

I was trying to install MDK 8.0 in a machine with SIS card. While
installing it starts in graphics. I saw in console one as 16 bpp, driver
as cfb16, no acceleration and FBDev used. But after installation GUI
doesn't work. First I get hanging with Super check serial port. I have
also observed one more funny thing while install. Though I have 3 button
ord mouse, it shows buttons 5 and zaxismapping. I saw X as 3.3.6 using X
-version. But xf86config leads to a file that is compatible with X 4. It
didn't give option of selecting X while installing. How to go about mdk
8.0 and sis
