SiS 771/671 Mirage 3 Video Drivers

[zorglups]

Well i got satux 1.8 the driver works, i got full 3D the supertux game runs, the wifi works nothing bad to say ....

It seems like satux 1.8 is just a mod of debian etch so these drivers might work on it.

Think i am gonna stick with it for a while, in the installation of 1.8 u can make it in english.

Solarium,

Can you please post the result of 'sudo dpkg-query -l xserver-xorg-core xorg' ?

Thanks,

Pierre.

BTW: trying some stuff and asking on the satux forums the sis3d they got does not support compiz at all which kinda was my purpose in all of this

How ever full screen video / stream video (youtube) works super good much better then ubuntu very smooth, and i can run the games talked about in this thread.

*How i wish that we had a good working real 3D driver*

Can anyone confirm whether this driver should also work on the Intel D201GLY2A board with Ubuntu 8.10? I can't get it to work...

Hi all,

I'm struggling increasing the screen resolution to 1200x800 using the driver provided in this threat by Barros Lee. The maximum I get is 800x600.

I have the following adapter in my laptop (Acer Aspire 3003WLMi)

archie@home:~$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter

Under Ubuntu 8.05, everything worked fine using this xorg.conf settings:

Find attached the Xorg.0.log when I start X using my old xorg.conf.

Did anyone have a similar problem and found a solution for that?

Cheers

I get the same problem as Uwe.
I've tried it on exactly the same laptop (Acer Aspire 3003WLMi). The maximum I get is 1024x768 with xorg.conf like follows:

Section "Device"
identifier "Generic Video Card"
boardname "sis"
busid "PCI:1:0:0"
driver "vesa"
screen 0
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
identifier "Generic Monitor"
vendorname "Generic"
modelname "Flat Panel 1280x800"
HorizSync 31.5-90
VertRefresh 60
modeline "1280x800@60.00" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -hsync +vsync
gamma 1.0
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Generic Video Card"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
depth 24
modes "1280x800@60"
EndSubSection
EndSection

It worked on Ubuntu 7.04.
Any suggestions will be appreciated as I've tried anything that comes to my mind twice.

@majkelpl

:You need to set your driver to "sis" , instead of "vesa"

@captainarcher
:disable your Modeline, by putting # in front of it.
and enable your HorizSync and VertRefresh by leaving # away.
also I guess you also best disable all the other extra modelines/methamodes etc.

Here's my Xorg.conf.

This is what keeps my sis 771/671 running in 1280x800

Thanks mhgsys, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be that easy. I removed all these settings but still, I only get 800x600

[mhgsys]

@Captainarcher.

I just saw you need another driver then I do myself.
You have a different videocard

I'm pretty sure your Xorg.conf isn't the real problem here,
I guess you're trying to enable a sis 771/671 driver on a sis 661/741/760

You should delete all the sis driver files and download the correct ones.

Good luck with finding them .

mhgsys.

[shoxy]

adding the refresh rates to the conf file worked, thanks

Hey guys
I got the 2d drivers for intrepid today
Finally got them working =]

Compiz says it can't run because of "software rasterizer"

Is there anything i can do about that or is it a lost cause ?
