I have probably the worst configuration :-( ASUS A1000 series laptop with 14.1" LCD (1024x768x15)
Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS630 GUI Accelerator+3D (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 1452 Flags: 66Mhz, medium devsel BIST result: 00 Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Memory at cd800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] I/O ports at 9800 [size=128] XFree3.3.6 works with both sis and fbdev driver XFree4.0.2/3 works with VESA driver at 1024x768 XFree4.1.0.1 works with VESA but only at 800x600 XFree4.1.99.1 works with VESA but only at 800x600 the latest cvs snapshot I have (three days ago) seems to have some improvements with the SiS drivers. Actually it starts, but the display is corrupt: the last part of the screen lines are shown on top: 6666666666666666666666666666666666666 7777777777777777777777777777777777777 1111111111111111111111111111111111111 2222222222222222222222222222222222222 3333333333333333333333333333333333333 4444444444444444444444444444444444444 5555555555555555555555555555555555555 that means that 2/7th of the lines are shown on top, then I have a blank line, then I have the first 5/7th of the screen. And, this is not working in 1024x768 but 800x600. Please note that every X version I have is perfectly working sith an external monitor. The problems appears only using the LCD screen. I never tried the VesaFBHack patch. Where may I found it? bye, Giuseppe Il Fri, Dec 07, 2001 at 03:02:24PM +0100, Thomas Winischhofer ha scritto: > > Egbert Eich writes: > > Stuart Young writes: > > > The VesaFBHack patch, which was my little effort at re-implementing the > [...] > > > Right.
