Re: SiS 630 + XFree

[Iván Rodríguez Murillo <ivan.rodriguez@tiendared.net>]

I have tried every patch from SiS http://www.sis.com.tw , kernel
recompilation, updating from XFree 3.3.X to 4, and doesnt work,...

It's curious, Mandrake 7.2 Installation in graphic mode work PERFECTLY. I
have a friend that has the same chip (SiS 630) and he got his LCD working in
Mandrake 7.1. Maybe it is a trouble of my LCD vendor (?).


I think I did something wrong against GNU and now I am being punished LOL

PS: saludos a los FIEras de la facultad de sevilla ;)
