To all sis630 laptop users---Xfree with dri and fb
I read a lot of times debian users asking for the x support for sis630
Laptops...I hope now they can use mplayer well :)
Yes one man did it,(this is not a mail referencing to the breacking news
about xfree86 4.2 support for sis630 laptop).
I'm talking about Thomas Winischhofer that mades his own sisfb source and
his drm patch to support sis630 LCD.
Caracteristics of the driver:
DRI support
XV support (for Mplayer yes!!!!!)
Sisfb support and more....
For more information:http://www.webit.com/tw/linuxsis630.shtml
Thanks thomas!
Note: the kernel patches are for 2.4.x where x>=16
I tested the intructions on my laptop and now I can use xv extension
and play quake3 for meditation state...
