Hi there!
Altough she's not using Ubuntu, my girlfriend has a laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile V5535) with a SiS Mirage 3 (771/671) graphics card running Arch Linux (xorg-server 1.6.1).
Using Bartlomiej's latest modified driver didn't work.
First I tried the pre-compiled binary, then I compiled the driver from source, with the same results.
The Xorg log doesn't show any actual errors, because the graphics card is detected and the driver is loaded. The problem is that the screen blinks, and between blinks the last image (before running X with the SiS driver) that the graphics card has in ram/buffer/whatever is shown, and it just stays doing that.
Did this happened to anyone? How about you Cybrarian. Was this the problem you had before the Xorg upgrade you had to do?
Here is the xorg.conf, nothing fancy, just the essential:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "sis671"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
Device "Device0"
EndSection
Before the Xorg upgrade, it was doing fine using xorg-server 1.5.x with this Ubuntu 8.10 driver. Using VESA driver for now.
Cheers,
Quetzy
