There were sevaral discusssions about this chipset in a Laptop in this mailinglist. So take look in the mailing list archive. I guess it's somewhere in last three months. There have been provided some solutions. But note, probably you have to live with some restrictions. > E.g. you have to use the VESA framebuffer support provided by the kernel. Don't use the SiS-driver which comes with the kernel. It's not known to work. Also you probably won't have a working console when you once started X (someone posted, that he got it. I wasn't able to get the same result.). And last but not least take a look into the SuSe support database. > There many sites in the net explaining how to setup linux for many different laptops. They can also help. But have some patience. If you can't find your special notebook look for the gericom webboy (also SiS630). It's widely used so many people provide informations about this one. > I never tried the way you did. The downgrade to X-4.0 was no solution for me. So I can't help with it. > Did I forgot something? > Yes I did: RedHat 7.1 is not 100% stable on my notebook (but more than windows) especially KDE makes some problems. > > Good luck... > > If you find something new, post it please. > > _______________________________________________ > Newbie mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: > http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
