Re: Kernel Compilation Trouble

[yoann <debian-yoann@ifrance.com>]

Hi all,

I had a similary problem, I have a laptop Gericom with a chip SiS630
so if it's not done, you have to download the drivers for you video card 
from http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml and follow the 
instruction :

for the kernel you have to download the file sisfb_srs_160209-1.tar.gz ( 
http://www.webit.at/~twinny/sis/sisfb_src_160902-1.tar.gz ) but check on 
the web site if it's the right file.

and after :

~/sisfb_src_160902-1 $ cat README
Installation instructions:

Copy all *.c and *.h files EXCEPT sisfb.h over the existing ones
in [kernel-tree]/drivers/video/sis.

Copy sisfb.h to /usr/src/linux/include/linux and over
eventual other copies of this file.

If you experience compile errors, you have missed sisfb.h.

Further, please use my Makefile (or patch your's accordingly) otherwise
the acceleration code will not be linked (which results in errors, of 
course)

For kernel 2.5.34 and later:

1) You need to change the Makefile in /drivers/video/ in line 90 like this:
obj-$(CONFIG_FB_SIS)      += sis/ cfbimgblt.o
2) For hardware accelerated 2D, set the kernel option 
"CONFIG_FBCON_ACCEL" ("Hardware acceleration" in menuconfig)

/Thomas

in fact, me, I forgot to copy the Makefile from the source 
sisfb_src_160902.tar.gz in [kernel-tree]/drivers/video/sis
so if I had just copy the makefile and everythin was ok

for more information, I give you an advice to follow what is write on 
the web site
