I tested the 2.4.17-pre8 kernel on my SiS 630 based Laptop. The sisfb doesn't oops for me anymore - but the screen is as black as it is with an unmodified 4.1.0 XFree ...
The external CRT-output has a signal which my 21" workstation monitor is able to display ;-) ... Whether drm does work I have to check after some sleep ... Also your attached patch doesn't apply on the 2.4.17-pre8 kernel. Might it be an option putting some public preassure generated by a /. , other news and www.heise.de to get sis releasing the description of the bit used to programm the digital output?? Does anyone know if it is possible to let the external CRT display another region of the video-memory (dual-head)? (Yes - needing sleep I started dreaming ... ;-) On Mon, 10 Dec 2001 22:59:49 +0000 Alan Hourihane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Dec 10, 2001 at 11:45:40PM +0100, Rene Rebe wrote: > > On Mon, 10 Dec 2001 23:00:05 +0100 > > Thomas Winischhofer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > I read about some people actually using DRM/DRI on the SiS630.
