[Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards
This driver worked great on 10.04 LTS and now again on 12.04 LTS. There is only one issue with the latter. I'm not sure if it is the driver but the experts here can certainly tell me how to analyze it. The GNOME shell and Unity shell crashes and restarts with gdm whenever I am playing movies with vlc/mplayer/totem. This happens when during the movie any window event is triggered other than moving the mouse. By the way, I use mostly GNOME shell. This happens precisely for example when moving the window, making it full screen, moving another window that is in front of behind the window with the movie, etc. However, it does not happen when I am movies in a web page, such as YouTube. In Xorg.log I find some of these lines: ... [ 7841.031] Segmentation fault at address 0x188 [ 7841.031] Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting ... but there is more. Do more people experience this? What do I need to do in order to analyze this issue? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301958 Title: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/301958/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello, Jay Check that you installed the right driver for your architecture (32 or 64 bit) and that you have copied a fresh xorg.conf as the one in my pages. The code for the drivers in 10.04 is slightly different from the one I use now, but what you describe seems to point to some oddity in xorg.conf. I can compile the current code in 10.04 as well, so you can give it a try, but I need to know the architecture.

It's pointless to dump the driver from Mandriva as-is. The right way forward is to split the (huge, ~2MB) diff to upstream X.Org -sis driver in logical pieces and push them upstream for review and inclusion. I already started, but it takes a non-trivial amount of effort to get it going, without any hardware to test the result on. Besides, I'm no driver developer, and learning-as-you-go is slow..

As far as I am concerned, it's the exact same. He compiled the driver which was published by Antonio some time ago. The nice thing is, that he made a deb package which makes installing a lot easier + he didn't made a debug build which makes the whole driver a lot smaller (and maybe faster but I can't say that for sure, I think that would only be the case if you use a debugger). So 1280x800 should work, too! Test it and report your results (maybe you should backup your old driver).

Hello, I have been out on another non-profit, making a conference on advanced audio and electroacoustics, there I am a pro, not in video...@tpurch, it seems as I told Martin in private I used some branch of your published code on the last version with a few modifications i did. The code used before was another branch, which was not 1366x768 compatible. If it has debug sumbols that will be on the makefile, and quite frankly, the driver looks quite the same in terms of size...who knows, i'm (very) familiar with dsp fixed-point assembler, kernel drivers I didn't touched those since win32, did about 4, written in 32-bit 8086 assembler. Coming back to the latest code, I have a few notes taken, told Martin that I would ship the source to him and yes. He will have the code and instructions this week, I will publish those, after I finally sit down and look at what I did to make that totally patched code compatible with Maverick. No tracking records exist for that code, and everything is a mess, that's why this has to gain access to tracked repositories. I tried to diff those from previous versions anad was a little astonished, and evn produced a code migrating directly from 8.10 to Maverick, but the flaws were there. From the results patent on-screen when starting up, there are problems to be solved in this driver. When I picked up from the changes made after 9.04, the driver was already an unfriendly one (Plymouth incompatibility), so my 9.04 version, which source code I preserve, should be the basis for any changes, but taking into account all the others since 8.10. Fortunately I kept just about everything. Now it is time to organize it and deliver it to who will be in charge. What I did up to the moment was trying to avoid the worst, keeping good people using a nice, community-maintained system. But, again, community- maintained does not mean chaos, and so it is good that things will be getting back on track, because there are huge quantities of these systems around the world. If this does not enter the current branch in xorg, I will continue to patch, because I still have a couple of this systems around. What I cannot do is to retrace the past work. I don't have the immediate expertise or time to do that.

@Pander, greetings, your 2 first assumptions are correct, smaller in size, smaller in memory usage yes but faster in processing not really. On properly-built systems debug symbols are invoked when somebody need those at the debbugging phase. Briefly reviewed the code since 8.10, if the debug stuff was there, it has been since the very beginning, and as in windoze, an utility must exist to purge it from the objects. I will take a brief look at that asap. What the xorg guys should do in my humble opinion is to very visibly publish a list of the supported hardware, and propagate it to all distributions. This way, any promitent system buyer would be suitably warned agains buying proprietary pita hardware making us going though all this.

@Pander Well since SIS is lack of capability so don't force yourself to make it work perfectly for 2monitor. For me also always see a glitch not even once when using the modification driver. Use 1 Monitor is quite good already and try to maximize the use of workspace so you can save your time and thinking with us about how to make it work for repetitive release of ubuntu family. Since it was lack of 3D Support. For the configuration file, if you still insist to make it work for 2 Monitor try to see Winischhofer page.

For 1280x800, it remains working :) 1) As for my previous questions in comment 149, do other people also experience lines on their laptop screen when an external monitor is attached from boot time? 2) Would it be fairly simple to also support disabling laptop screen via laptop keyboard, which is supported in the default driver shipped by Ubuntu? 3) As for the more fine tuned control for working with two screens, I have come up with a highly detailed xorg.conf for a laptop and external screen but it doesn't work. Does this need support by the driver? Or are some of these parts not handled by xorg anymore? Please let me know what could be improved and will be picked up by xorg. Thanks.

[Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards
With a fresh Maverick installation without this driver, my laptop screen is disabled when I boot with an external screen. After installing this driver, and booting again with external screen, which works fine, my laptop screen shows many coloured vertical lines in a reasonable static way that can burn into the laptop screen. The laptop also has a special button for enabling and disabling laptop screen and external screen, but that doesn't work now but used to work with Karmic and this driver. However, the special buttons for brightness do work. One other issue is that Monitor Preferences in System / Preferences unaware of my screens. This results in the following questions: - How to have Monitor Preferences be aware of my screens? Detection does not work. Can this be fixed? What workaround exists by manually enriching xorg.conf? What tools or websites can I use to find out the proper refresh rates? - How to get the laptop screen working properly when booting with external monitor also to prevent burn in? - How to get the special button for enabling and disabling screens working? I hope these issues can be solved.

Thanks, Pander, corrected it. Yesterday I tried until midnight to compile and test the 32-bit driver on an external USB disk, no way, I can't do a proper install on a Maverick 32-bit cd (gnome) on a usb disk as I did with the 64-bit. Even the 32-bit usb image created by the standard ubuntu install cd does not boot or the cd itself, in spite I have md5-checked it. I resorted to xubuntu 10:10, which boots and I will retry.

[Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards
The driver we both compiled has an intermittent flaw, happened to me this morning and I heard this before: LoadModule: sis671 (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/old_sis/sis671_drv.so dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/old_sis/sis671_drv.so: undefined symbol: resVgaIoShared (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/old_sis/sis671_drv.so (II) UnloadModule: sis671 (EE) Failed to load module sis671 (loader failed, 7) (EE) No drivers available. Before this, immediately after detecting the driver: (--) PCI:*(0:1:0:0) 1039:6351:1558:0801 Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter rev 16, Mem @ 0xc000/268435456, 0xd400/131072, I/O @ 0x9000/128 when the driver is successfully loaded: (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) and when not: (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) It seems that ACPI has a nasty effect here. Never saw this behavior on the previous driver I compiled for Karmic. -- [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301958 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I edited my /boot/grub/ menu.lst so as to turn acpi=off and will keep on watching this. More people complain they can't see a thing with the lucid install disk, and I have a frozen display toshiba a10 after lucid upgrade, maybe there is a connection. -- [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301958 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards
What is the output of the failing make command? The makefile seems to lack some rules but this does not affect the success of what you did ;) I used the source from the blogpost already posted a few times without made any changes to it. I will recompile it from scratch because I wanted to install 64bit (what I did before was compiling it on a live session). I will post the whole console input later with wget command etc. -- [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301958 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for helping, this is weird, 2 lucid systems should behave the same way, if properly loaded. Not that my system is fully upgraded. I didn't compile on a 32-bit machine cause my other laptop has undergo through a similar regression process, no display using an intel 852/855 chipset with lucid, no wireless, total collapse, will see if I catchup later on.

[Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards
OK, the first should work even if there is an error make[2]: *** No rule to make target `sis6...@driver_man_suffix@', needed by `all-am'. Stop. This is no fatal error. Try sudo make install in the directory then the driver files should be copied to /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/sis671_drv.* This is just a misconfiguration in the makefile I think. -- [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301958 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards
Yes, you're right, with full sudo make install it compiled (sudo make didn't succeeded in creating the libraries) and well, destination is just a question of configure prefix.With the second one, compiling ok on karmic, no. But at least one is finishing, so later on I will do it on 32-bit and try this newly compiled version, differing slightly in size from yours and of course with a different hash. -- [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301958 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
