SiS 771/671 Mirage 3 Video Drivers

I downloaded and trying )))))) I have fujitsu Siemens laptop )))
Esprimo Mobile V 5535 ))

But this is a build for a specific kernel and xorg version.
This package should break any graphic system different at the specific used in the build.
Is better wait for the source code.
I suggest don't install.

ok, when we have a source ???

Umm dumb question, but still: how do i test if i have 3d support or not ? is there some kind of app or something, that can give me a quit summary ?

Umm, possibly try enabling compiz?

Or perhaps run an opengl game? Supertux2 runs terribly for me because it relies on opengl.

Or run the program "glxgears" from the console, maximise the window and see if they run smoothly?

Usually in any GNU/Linux system you can run:

$ glxinfo | grep rendering

Is a question abour the direct rendering in x system

The answer if you have 3d acceleration is:

direct rendering: Yes

Or negative:

direct rendering: No

The complete test is:

$ glxinfo

and look for the line : Direct rendering....

$ glexgears shows the speed in fps how your x system works.


* For make this test you need have installed the mesa-utils libraries.

Although DRI is a prerequisite for accelerated OpenGL, it doesn't imply 3D acceleration. In glxinfo output, you should look for this line: "OpenGL renderer string", if it's "Software Rasterizer" - no 3D accel for you

I am geussing it means no 3d because of the direct rendering: NO ?

Also what is mesa3d ?


EDIT:
This is the out of glxinfo on my ubuntu install, if i would judge from it i have full 3d

It depends on what ubuntu version you use , because those drivers are for an old kernel from what i understand.

Also i been looking at that site, and they have some beta and alpha drivers for Sis cards that suposetly should work in 8.10.
But to get them you need to register to something called SLEP -> thats where i got lost, cause i dont speak portugeuse i was just using the google function "Translate Page"

Seems that SLEP is a service to beta-testers.

I have a brazilian CCE laptop with Satux preinstalled (1 hour of life ). SiS video works great but not perfect (obvious) with 1280x800 res. But after install Ubuntu, no works. I think I found the reason here.

Translating,

As far as I know, the very SiS sends the driver code for integrators and they release the driver that is optimized for the distro in use its equipment. This means that the obligation of the integrator is limited to optimize the driver for OEM distro and provide it to the functional equipment. If there is any license to use, I have no idea ...

Thanks Google.
