I need SiS 671/771 VGA driver for Xorg 1.7.x. Please share me if you got it. Special thanks.
I have tried to follow the mostly incoherent instructions on other threads marked [SOLVED] to no avail. Could someone who has managed to solve the resolution issues for this chipset please put together a HOW TO with detailed step-by-step instructions on how to solve the problem.
Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis
like everyone here, I am looking for a 3D driver for Mirage 3+ (sis672), I'm currently using the sis671 2d driver.....but have found a 32-bit sis315_dri.so file (I beleive should fill in the missing component for 3D graphics..right??)
The problem is that I don't run 32-bit OS at the moment and I don't really want to go through the hassle of re-installing 32 bit version - only to find out that the file doesn't work....Is there anyone here running Ubuntu 9.10 (32-bit) with the sis671 2d driver with KDE and got with the following error in there Xorg.0.log file:
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/sis315_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/sis315_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
If so, and they would like to help me out by trying out a "sis315_dri.so" file that I can send you?
please pm me if you want to try it out!
Thanks

check out my linux blog here
Every time I compile a sisimedia driver, i get my screen like that: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27107413/DSC00298.JPG
The only driver that worked for me are Mandriva binaries in Ubuntu... How could i fix that problem? I want to try Fedora 12, but cant because of this problem.
@little_fire: Take a look to post #329.
Yes, I have tried. When i go to a terminal (Ctrl+alt+F1), screen looks OK. But when i go back to X the screen is divided again.Have you tried to switch out of the X screen then back. Alt+F1, Alt+F7?
Hi All,
I also downloaded xorg-driver-sisimedia_0.9-1_i386.deb to my Advent 9315, installed it and I can now choose 1280 x 800, 1024 x 768, 800 x 600 and 640 x 480. No prizes for guessing which I don't use!
Fantastic. Massive thanks to everyone who has chipped in (that's a sort of English pun) with help and those who have written/searched for/posted info on the drivers.
Now to sort out the sound problem on this laptop!
