Re: X server for SiS
Hi,
for your sis video card, you need to get the latest xfree86 3.3.3.1.
YOu can either download the binary driver(SVGA) from the xfree86 homepage, or
you can upgrade your system to potato. Potato has 3.3.3.1 but you will need the glibc2.1
as well.
Having done above, you are half way through... add the following extra options to your XF86Config file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "SIS 6326"
VendorName "SIS"
BoardName "6326"
VideoRam 8192
Option "sw_cursor"
EndSection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
Option "no_bitblt"
Option "no_imageblt"
Option "noaccel"
Option "power_saver"
EndSubsection
