I tried installing xserver-xorg-video-sis from unstable, but, as far as I remember, I had issues because I would have had to upgrade many more components of xserver-xorg in order to upgrade xserver-xorg-video-sis. And I have limited internet access (only sometimes, and I shouldn't download too much.) However, I am no longer using that computer, and I am now using one that has an nvidia driver. Thanks again for looking taking the time to look at it. Matthew R U Ready for Windows Live Messenger Beta 8.5? Try it today! |
