Interesting web page. I have the 6326 and have had no problems with X4.1, but it looks like this guy has an updated version of the driver available.
As a matter of interest, where do people source linux-compatable hardware from these days? And is there a good website which has reviews of this? I notice that VIA's KM266 chipset (on a number of newish motherboards) has onboard video/sound/lan, but the video only works in frame-buffer mode, the sound has problems, the LAN is OK, but the IDE interface won't work at DMA133 unless you patch the kernel. Via have fixes for this on a website (viaarena.com), but some of it is binary only, and therefore is distro/kernel specific and won't end up in the newer kernel/X11 sources. - Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zane Gilmore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 9:41 AM Subject: Re: Xinerama S3 & SiS > I think that something should be noted, > if you use Linux *don't* buy SiS anything. > > Apparently they refuse to write Linux drivers and they refuse to publish > their specs.
