I have it working with 8 (shared, as well) but with frame buffer (not
a really good solution).

Well... if you have the possibility to change without loosing money, change
it :) There are better graphics cards!
|
| 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.
Thats a refresh rate problem... that should be solutionable with some
test/failure iteractions.
|
| 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?
Can't compile it ;(
