Just finished compiling CVS version from today (12/12) and ... SiS
driver actually WORKS on my laptop (Gericom). No more "melting screen"!
I could not perform intensive testing yet, but at the moment I am
running X using the CVS driver without any distortion. Even the
"rectangle-bug" I reported yesterday has disappeared. Thanks Egbert!
I am running a Woody box with 4.1.0 installed. Had slight trouble
setting CVS-X up aside my working installation. KDM does not come up
("Client rejected", something with "XDM-AUTHOTIZATION" and "Xlib:
Protocol not supported" shows up and kdm quits), so I simply run startx
from console for testing at the moment.
However, X locks up (freezes) the machine about every third time I am
running startx; the screen remains black and I have to power the box
down. The times it comes up, it works well. I am not sure about the
reason for this but I suppose it's not the sis driver that causes
trouble here. The log does not contain anyhing useful.
Anyway: Thanks!
Thomas
Now that we seem to have an idea how to initialize the LCD - time to fix
the kernel's sisfb ...!
