Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-sis
I have the following display adapter (as output by sudo lspci -v)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760
PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
Subsystem: Rioworks Device 2038
Flags: 66MHz, medium devsel, IRQ 10
BIST result: 00
Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
Memory at df6e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
I/O ports at bc00 [size=128]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [50] AGP version 3.0
Kernel driver in use: sisfb
Kernel modules: sisfb
After updating from Hardy to Intrepid (on 10-28-08) the xserver was
plagued with display errors (see this forum post for pictures:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=961964 ).
It appears that the sisfb module was not being loaded automatically.
Adding sisfb to /etc/modules appears to fix the problem.
