Anybody find a solution (partial or complete) the the SiS630 video problem. I've noticed many reports of problems with the SIS630 video problem on this list and on others.
I'm running RH 7.2 with a SiS630 video chipset on a Socket A m812 motherboard. The SiS630 takes it's memory from the motherboard and I have it configured for 16MB. The status notes on the Xfree site indicate problems with the SiS630 driver if the buffer is not configured to 4MB. I bought this motherboard this past Friday and I have to determine if I'm going to keep this motherboard or replace it. I get different screen behaviours depending upon which program generates the XF86Config file. Xconfigurator creates an XF86Config file which, when loaded, produces a horizontal flicker display with some distinguishable X windows, however it is unusable and unreadable. xf86config produces a XF86Config file which produces a black screen. XFree86 -configure produces a configuration whereby the screen is viewable but it crashes. The screen is the GNOME brown "screen" pattern with the cursor displayed as a large X (i.e. just before the GNOME splash screen is displayed) I've checked the SIS site and the status section of the XFREE site which indicate and number of "FIXES" but none seem to work. The VideoRAM size section indicates that there are problems with the SIS chips accessing over 4MB of RAM. The board I have only allows a minumum of 8MB configuration. Anybody have solutions to this problem with the SIS drivers? Thank you in advance for any help.
