Try the VESA driver supplied with 4.x I have an Sis620, and the Sis driver would NOT work correctly. However all Sis cards were developed to be VESA compatible. After trying all options, I switched to the VESA driver and everything works great now.

I have an airis laptop with a debian 2.2 potato and X 4.1 i have heard many things abouts this kind of card configuration and none of them helped me to configure correctly my card. The first thing i probed was to use frame buffer and results was a black screen and to reboot my computer. then i used sis driver and, it is near to be correct, but i still get sometimes get the same result that before. I dont remember where but i have heard about a SUSE server called XFCom_SiS which supports sis 630 but when i got a download page i saw that it was just for another similar cards and 2 years ago. so i decided not to use it. And finally, i heard yesterday that i should use svga server but it doesnt appear as a X4.x driver. I have just seen a vga driver, but it does ntot work with. another important point is that, with my "unstable" X system working with sis driver, it works better with kernel 2.2 that with 2.4. normal?? so please, if someone could help me ill be really grateful. that's all. thanks. mariom. _______________________________________________ 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
