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
