Hello,
There are still problems with this nasty SiS driver. We have some
Laptops with SiS 671/771 video cards and they load and use the driver,
but the only resolution chooseable is 640x480 while the native Display
has 1280x800. This is with latest KUbuntu 14.04 and also with LUbuntu
14.04. Any idea how to get a useable display with SiS 671/771?
Thanks
Andreas

Title:
Please patch xserver-xorg-video-sis (was: SiS driver crashes Xserver
with EXA acceleration)
Status in XOrg Driver for SiS devices:
Confirmed
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-sis” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-raring” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-sis” package in Baltix:

Bug description:
[TRIAGE NOTE]
xserver-xorg-video-all metapackage should not depend on
xserver-xorg-video-sis because it makes Ubuntu = 12.10 unusable/uninstallable
for SiS users, and upstream X shows little interest in fixing/patching the SiS
driver.
[WORKAROUND]:
For SiS users that already have Ubuntu installed, they can create an
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the following contents:
Section Device
Identifier Configured Video Device
Option NoAccel true
EndSection
Section Monitor
Identifier Configured Monitor
EndSection
Section Screen
Identifier Default Screen
Monitor Configured Monitor
Device Configured Video Device
EndSection
[ORIGINAL REPORT]:
After Upgrade to 12.10. The Xserver crashes.
I have tried lightdm und gdm.
Both of them load the Mouse and Background then they restart.
