Hi, guys. Straight to the point: is there a NVidia board with SiS305 chipset? Is there a way to use its hardware acceleration mechanisms on Linux with XFree86?
The story so far: A couple of months ago I've bought a graphics accelerated card for a really tempting price at a usually respectful shop. According to the box, it was NVidia TNT2 M64, 32MB, AGP. But on the board itself there is no NVidia identificator and the chipset is SiS305. I am currently using XFree86 4.1.0 with the sis driver. It is ok, but with no hardware acceleration and fewer video modes than with XFree86 3.3.6, even if we use the apropriate Modeline options (the numbers that work quite well in 3.3.6 seem to be misinterpreted by the X engine). Also, the driver sees only 16 MB. I know that this board is capable of hardware acceleration because the driver for windows that I tested worked pretty fine with games. And similar games on Linux become terribly slow. I have tried the nvidia driver several times, following every instruction, but it does not find any graphics board (no useful clue from troublesooting sections), so I suspect it has nothing to do with NVidia. Does anybody has a clue of what is going on? Thanks in advance. Eduardo Lutz. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
