No native english here,too :P

This view certainly may vary from user to user, otherwise there won't be that much distributions on the market.
I was running Opensuse (when it still was called SuSe) and Ubuntu for some years,...

I really don't want to promote another linux distribution in the Ubuntu forum :cool: but for SiS chipsets I have to claim that Mandriva (and eventually PCLinuxOS (Mandriva fork)) is THE distribution...

Well, I'm just wondering why Barros Lee offers a 2D SiS driver for 10.04 on his blog (http://barroslee.blogspot.com/search/label/sis671), gives instructions on how to set up 1366*768 in xorg.conf and...

Hmm, so you're running a 1360*768 resolution on a panel with a native 1366*768 resolution.
That's certainly better than 1024*768, 800*600 or any other low non-native resolution, but I think that...

To those having a 1366*768 display (NOT 1360*768) and running that 'purch' version of sis driver:

What's your output of


xrandr -q

You have a warning in your log:
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

This warning may be related to to your message. It sucks if acpi is not working on a...

Just stay with the configuration that gave you your last xorg0.log, add Option "UseTiming1366" "yes" to that xorg.conf and see if you can get native resolution.
I personally use Mandriva on my SiS...

Hello hellnest,

that logfile looks not bad, only complaining about missing valid modes.
It may help if you add Option "UseTiming1366" "yes" to your xorg.conf (see my earlier post for details).

Did you read this? http://barroslee.blogspot.com/search/label/sis671

Your notebook seems to have a "b/g/n Wireless LAN MiniCard Module with USB Interface".
Do you know the manufacturer and model...

Well, I forgot to mention the fact that I'm running Mandriva, just passing by here from time to time...
There is no ia32-libs (32 bit compatibility) rpm package for Mandriva and that's why I get the...

He also installed sis671_dri.so, I think that is the Satux 3D driver for SiS chipsets (only for 32 bit, gives me 'wrong elf class' on x86_64...)

What's the problem with that adapter?

I'm not using Ubuntu but Mandriva on a SiS-based notebook, and the SiS 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter works fine
(btw: Mandriva is still best Distribution for...

@ orduek

I've also never tested an external screen on SiS 672, but you may give the utility 'sisctrl' a try.
sisctrl is a GUI to configure display modes, screens, colors etc on SiS video...

Mandriva NEVER had SiS 3D support, but Mandriva 2009/2010 supported a lot of SiS based adapters out of the box (sisimedia driver) with 2D acceleration enabled.
However, SiS 3D performance is poor. I...

I am running Mandriva on a Notebook with this SiS chipset @ 1280*800 native LCD resolution, so I can't do any testing with your resolution, but I had a look at my Xorg.0.log and found something that...

not sure if the sis driver can handle that resolution at all, but did you try to add a custom modeline to you xorg.conf?

# 1368x768 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 47.70 kHz; pclk: 85.86 MHz

latest samba clients are broken, see https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6880

had the same problem on mandriva 2009.1_64 after update, downgraded lib64smbclient0 to built 3.3.2

Please post your xorg.conf (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) or see, which driver is listed there in Section "Device"

Whats the model of your sis card? And which driver is specified in xorg.conf for the video device?

Reconfigure the x-server to 16 bit colour depth, this results in 24 bit colour depth (bug in SiS driver)

There is no 3D driver, but for 9.04 x64 there is a driver - look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7133694&postcount=167
