Acer Aspire 3000

[Ultimatefry]

This computer I got recently can only seem to handle up to Ubuntu version 11.10 (it was super cheap and the hard drive isn't recognized) and therefore I cannot install the Steam (gaming social network) software from the Ubuntu Software Center. WHen I was installing Steam, it told me that it depended on a newer version of libc6 and curl. I was able to easily install curl, but when I tried installing a newer version of libc6 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/i386/libc6/download), I got this:


(Reading database ... 154106 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libc6 2.15-0ubuntu10.2 (using libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.2_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libc6:
libc6 depends on libc-bin (= 2.15-0ubuntu10.2); however:
Version of libc-bin on system is 2.13-20ubuntu5.3.
dpkg: error processing libc6 (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc6


So, it needs itself to install itself...what do I do?

[mörgæs]

Have you considered a fresh install of Lubuntu 13.04?

[Ultimatefry]

What's the difference between this and Ubuntu 11.10, and would this computer likely handle it?

[Ultimatefry]

the bumping

Any have any option I can take that wouldn't require switching my version of Linux?

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Hi !

There is no better Long Term Solution. Version 11.10 has reach End Of Life, and as such is no longer supported. It is most strongly recommended to upgrade to a current version. Version 12.04 (the current LTS) is supported 'till the year 2017.
see:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
for details to make this happen.


just my thought too

[Ultimatefry]

This computer can't handle Ubuntu 12.10.

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Umph ,, should have reread the thread ... my bad.

Still, the better solution is to install a current version .. I - like mörgæs - suggest lubuntu, if you have as much as 512 Megs of ram. Else there does exist even lighter versions of linux.
I personally like and endorse lubuntu.
All it will cost you is a bit of time and a blank CD to try and see if lubuntu will work for you.
from the links at top of page ->ubuntu community
download the .iso
burn the .iso as a "image", slow burn rate
set in bios to boot the cd as 1st priority
boot the liveCD -> try ubuntu

and see what you see.



is there a point in flogging a dead horse

[Ultimatefry]

Okay, after two installs on the Alternate Installer for Lubuntu 12.04, I've only gotten as far as the logo. I think I'm having a problem with where I'm supposed to put the GRUB, because the two options I've tried is the reccommended choice and /dev/sdb

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Good deal !

Grub .. single hard drive; install grub to "sda" for a standard install nothing fancy.
Else install grub onto the hard disk (ie "sdb") that you are installing 'buntu onto, Grub will pick up any other operating systems and chainload them. In order for this multi disk boot system to work .. leave the boot priority set to the drive that 'buntu is installed onto.

You must set the boot priority in bios .. then bios knows where the boot code is located- to hand off to.



hope this helps

[mörgæs]

Is there any particular reason that you are trying 12.04 and not 13.04?

[Ultimatefry]

I'm seeing if the computer can handle this one first before going up one (It's an Acer Aspire 3000 that I got for $7 at a thrift shop to see if it could be fixed up).

[Ultimatefry]

Okay, it seems that installing with the receiving flash drive plugged into where the installer was got me the option I was supposed to use from the installation instructions, but it still keeps flashing between the screen with the lil' underscore guy and a black screen with the cursor centered (the logo appears when it first loads, though).

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Hey !

Let's presume that the kernel is unhappy with your graphics card, this will get around that situation and if that is a true condition allow you to install a recommended graphics driver:

Try this: Boot up ubuntu from cold boot, soon as the bios screen clears, depress the shift key -> grub menu>
Insure a "non recovery" kernel option is highlighted and press the "e"key for edit mode -> boot parameters; arrow down to the line similar to this "linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic root=UUID=dbd69ed2-530c-4409-8f5a-a3f1ea41fc67 ro quiet splash"
; arrow across to the term "quiet splash" and insert the term "nomodeset" -without the quotes-; ctl+x to continue the boot process. GUI login -> user name and password -> desktop. Left side of screen is the launcher ->System Settings ->Additional Drivers [must have 'net connectivity ]//assumes that 3rd party software sources have been enabled// Install the recommended driver.



just try'n to help

[Ultimatefry]

I was able to get to the nomodeset step, but the thing still flashed black and purple.

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Disappointing !

Ok let's back up a step or so ..Let's see if the system it's self is stable.
Edit once more the grub boot parameter, this time remove quiet and splash, inset the term text.
At this time when booting one should boot to a text login console (TTY1).
At this prompt enter your username and then password when requested ... bear in mind on the password there will be no response back to the screen.
Enter your password blindly and hit the enter key.

Now enter:


sudo service lightdm start


What happens ?... pass back to us any errors displayed on the screen. If you are able to boot to the CLI (Command Line Interface), then we can look at why the GUI is not launching.




where there is life there is hope

[Ultimatefry]

Term text?

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Yep.

Delete the terms "quiet splash" and type in "text" - without the quotes- and one should boot to that CLI environment.



more than one way to skin a cat

[Ultimatefry]

I was able to log in and type in the command, but it continued flashing, but this time it said this sometimes inbetween flashes:


* ??????? AppArmor profiles
??????? profile in /etc/apparmor??/???????????? [OK]

?????ing ??? server ???? (maybe failed/start, unsure what it says) [OK]
*
???? ??????????????? edit /etc/default/?????
*Checking battery state... [OK]

I see similar stuff when shutting down my computer (starting/stopping bluetooth, other things) when running my working Ubuntu 11.10.

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Shucks;

Not enough info at this time to suggest a solution.. indications are:
1. Grub is hosed up;
2. /etc/fstab file is hosed up
3. Partition is hosed up
4. file system is hosed up
maybe any and all of the above.

OK .. can you successfully boot the install liveDVD/USB to the "try ubuntu" mode ? -> rules out hardware problems and gives a means of access to the hard drive.
can you successfully boot the install to the text login prompt ? Will make diagnostics much simpler.

We need to know your status in order to provide proper diagnostic commands.

You have come a long way, but not made it home yet.





keep on keep'n on

[Ultimatefry]

Lubuntu installer only provides 'Boot from first hard disk', and since it is that, it just reboots itself.

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Hey ..
Give me a bit .. I have a Lubuntu 12.04 liveCD on hand. Let me reboot and refresh my memory ...



back soonest

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; OK ..
Booting up the liveCD of Lubuntu ...it does have the following options:
1. Try Lubuntu without installing
2. Install Lubuntu
3. Check Disk for Defects
4. Test Memory
5. Boot from First Hard Disk

My question remains .. what results when you choose "Try Lubuntu without Installing" ???



it is all a process

[Ultimatefry]

up and get Install Lubuntu, , Check disk for defects, Test memory, Boot from first hard disk, and Rescue a broken system.

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Hey ..
Do not know why there would be a difference in 12.04 lubuntu liveCD and 12.04 Lubuntu USB .. in any event .. we still need to verify that you are able to boot your machine with "try Lubuntu".
What results when you choose the option "try Lubuntu without Installing " ?????????



it is a process

[mörgæs]

Must be the alternate ISO.

Where exactly does the process fail, if you install using NOMODESET?

[Bashing-om]

"Must be the alternate ISO." Duh ! .. blame it on my tunnel vision !



cheers

[Ultimatefry]

Okay, tried running it from the desktop install version of 13.04 (not sure why I said I was using 12.04 earlier, because I wasn't), and still flashed, but the blank screen with the cursor held for longer. Nomodeset and nodmraid didn't work, either.

[mörgæs]

You mentioned initially that you had 11.10 running. Though it's a step backwards I think it would be good to reinstall this one and do some tests before proceeding.

My guess is that the problem is either SIS graphics or not enough memory.

[Ultimatefry]

I've been using two seperate flashdrives: one with my 11.10 on it, and the Lubuntu one.

Also, I just noticed the post on installing normal with NOMODESET, and that didn't work, either.

[mörgæs]

The post above was meant as a question. How much memory do you have and which screen card?

Is this our guy and has more memory been added?
http://www.cnet.com/laptops/acer-aspire-3000/4507-3121_7-31532504.html

Also it would be interesting to hear of some broader experiments and not only a brief statement of what does not work.
Minimal Buntu (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD)?
Bodhi? (link in my signature)
Puppy (http://puppylinux.com/)?
...
...

What do you think is the reason for 11.10 not working now if it worked a few days ago?

And so on...

[Ultimatefry]

11.10 has been working the entire time; I just wanted to get a version of ubuntu that supported Steam.

I got this used, and this is what I get as my computer starts up (no matter what happens)


CPU0 =Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3000+
639K RAM Passed
446M Extended RAM Passed
128K Cache SRAM Passed
System BIOS Shadowed

it then goes on about my CD/DVD drive, USB, etc

Here's the history of OS'es(?) that I've tried on here (in order):


Windows 7 (hard drive not recognized)
Ubuntu 12.04 (failed to load installer/Try Ubuntu)
Ubuntu 10.04 (worked)
Ubuntu 10.10 (worked)
Ubuntu 11.04 (worked)
Ubuntu 11.10 (worked, current edition)
Ubuntu 12.04 (failed to load installer/Try Ubuntu)
Lubuntu 12.04 [or 13.04] (failed to load installer)
Lubuntu 13.04 Alternate Installer (Installed; failed to load)
Lubuntu 13.04 (failed to load installer/Try Ubuntu)

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Hey.

My wife's system is also AMD sempron ... worked wonderfully with 10.04 . Was initially unable also to get Lubuntu installed on it.
A lot of difficulties getting 12.04 installed .. and when I finally did get 12.04 installed .. was slow and laggy ...Took advisements and tried to install Lubuntu 13.04. Nope ... could not get it to install, installer kept hanging up.
The solution in that case to get Lubuntu to install was not to enable updates or 3rd party software sources during the install.
This particular install is the standard desktop. I have not seen the alternate edition - reason for a lot of my confusion - so I do not know if those options exist within the installer to be disabled.
But if so .. try disabling both items during the install...

Lubuntu runs great on my Wife's box ... Graphics card is hurting in intense graphical applications ... but that is another story.



there are those times I just do not know

[Ultimatefry]

Startup Disk Creator isn't letting me make an installer with the mini.iso...

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; If I may suggest;

Download the desktop edition of the .iso file (Lubuntu 13.04) and burn that .iso file to disk ... so we are on the same page. Then I will be able to better assist you.
Not wanting to be difficult, I just know of no better way to offer assistance.



I know it can be done

[Ultimatefry]

Okay, done (though the startup creator doesn't let me burn to disks, so I always have to use USB).

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Great !
Please also understand I do not mean to undermine others efforts to assist you. All advise given is good ->
My effort presently is to insure that you can boot to a GUI ..easiest method for testing is from the liveUSB.
OK, please;
Set in bios as the USB 1st boot priority,
Boot the USB,
Choose "try lubuntu".

What results ? - do we have a graphics driver problem ? else ?


we are backing up to punt

[Ultimatefry]

I choose 'Try Lubuntu' and get the light blue/blue/white loading screen. While loading, it lets me know that my wireless drivers aren't working and turns into the orange/black/white Ubuntu loading colors (this happens when choosing Try Ubuntu/Lubuntu, but then ones that work for me like 11.10 seem to work fine anyways), then I see several small, stretched out versions of the Lubuntu image + loading dot guys along the top of the screen. It goes back to the orange/black/white screen with something about "LightDM Display Manager", then it starts flashing between black and purple, with the cursor appearing occasionally.

[Ultimatefry]

UPDATE: Just returned to the laptop after a shower, and now it's left on a blank screen without flashing. No amount of touchpad swiping or keyboard clicking will rouse it.

[ericrichards420]

My sugestion is to upgrade the memory of that computer to 2 gigs of memory.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-2GB-2x1GB-Acer-Aspire-3000-Series-LAPTOP-Memory-DDR-RAM-PC2700-SODIMM-/290699012164?pt=US_Memory_RAM_&hash=item43af02e844 its only 41.50 that computer will run 4 times faster.

If your computer will not install ubuntu or lubuntu I recommend you trying "xubuntu".
let us know how it works out for you.

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry'
See ericrichards420's last; more memery is always a good thing. However, as you can run 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 there should not be a problem running Lubuntu 13.04.

I continue to look at this issue as graphics driver related. Are you connecting to the internet through a "wired" connection ? .. The wireless connection is something to be dealt with after installation is completed.
Try:
Boot the liveUSB;
At the purple splash screen (stick figure keyboard emblems at bottom of screen) -> hit any key ->
Language screen -> escape key to accept the default ->
Booting options screen -> f6 key (other options) -> arrow down to the preset option(s); choose "nomodeset" space or enter to accept and then the escape key to exit; for other additions the boot options kernel boot line is also available, append any desired boot parameter to the end of the line.
Not required in this instance.
Enter key to continue the boot process to the GUI desk top;


Now what results with "nomodet" ?



gotta be a cause

[Ultimatefry]

I only have a wired connection when I'm installing.

I get the same thing when I boot, except I get a white bar at the bottom of the screen very shortly before/after the LightDM part.

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Yuk !
As we are trying to install on a "Acer Aspire 3000" that is a laptop model ..and before we can do an actual install we must be able to boot that liveUSB.
To that end .. try some of the other booting parameters from that boot options screen in the liveUSB .. next try "acpi=off". As you are able to install earlier versions your system should be able to handle the lighter Lubuntu, So, still looking at the situation as hardware related. Be aware "acpi" is power management ..if you can boot up the liveUSB with "acpi=off" do not run the machine long .. as power management is disabled .. do not want the machine to overheat. Then we will find a solution to that one.



still try'n

[Ultimatefry]

acpi = off did the same as nomodeset.
nodmraid did the same as acpi=off, but the boot text turned orange and it started up with an underscore in the corner.
nolapic didn't work.
noapic didn't work.
edd-off didn't work.

All that's left is Free Software Only

[mörgæs]

We have a long series of attempts of installing from 10.04 to 13.04. The oldest half of the installs work but not the newest.

Each Lubuntu release is a little more memory greedy than the previous. On a memory-constrained computer like this one it is expected that somewhere along the line the installations will begin failing.

Because of this I would (still) like to hear how the 13.04 mini.iso behaved when installed from USB with wired internet connection.

[Ultimatefry]

The startup disk creator doesn't let me make an installer with the mini.iso.

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Hey;

Can you try installing from a CD ? As mörgæs has pointed out, you only have 256 MB of memory... maybe the USB is using too much of the scarce resource, in addition the sis chip set is not too well supported by the manufacturer.



simpler is better

[Ultimatefry]

It doesn't seem to be letting me use even CD's with data on them for install.

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Well !

from archlinux -> try this as the boot parameter:


video=sisfb:mode:1024x768x16,mem:12288,rate:75
that's an example... but you should be able to do something with it




worth a shot

[Ultimatefry]

[Using the Desktop, not Alternate, like you asked]

It seems to work better. While the stuff is smaller, I get an image when booting Lubuntu, and the flashing slows down.

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry; Hey ! Making some progress .

Ok .. we know it is the relations of the graphics driver...let's see what we can work with:
Boot to the grub boot menu, press "c" for a command line interface.
input:


vbeinfo

to see what modes are supported.
Then maybe change that boot parameter to something like:


video=sisfb:mode:1024x768x16,mem:4096,rate:70
with a lower resolution and just cause you are real short on memory.




that too is worth a shot

[Ultimatefry]

OK, loaded the one with the successful but unviewable install. vbeinfo showed a BUNCH of things, and the code provided didn't work on it.

[Bashing-om]

Ultimatefry;

Did you try a different resolution from ?


1024x768x16

choosing a resolution as provided by the output of "vbeinfo".

What now is the boot parameter you are attempting ?



just what I think

[halo.yanu]

I have same exact problem, using ubuntu 13.10 desktop (live usb)
trying all param in this thread with no luck :(

any other suggestion?
thanks

[Bashing-om]

halo.yanu; Hi ! Welcome to the forum.

No, nothing new as the OP abandoned the attempt.

What results do you get from post numbers 48 and 50 ?

we can at least give it a try and see what we can do.



cheers

[hemu79]

Hi, I have Acer Aspire 3002LC, and trying to Install my very first Linux. I have the exactly same problems as Ultimatefry with Lubuntu 13.10. Looking forward to see the answer :)

Regards, Hermanni

[Bashing-om]

hemu79; Hi ! Welcome to the forum .

There is nothing new to this time,
With your renewed interest we can thresh on this some more, see what can be done.
Can you boot to a terminal ?
Can you post the output of the terminal commands ? :
So we can see your graphics card and info:


sudo lshw -C display
lspci | grep VGA
lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga

-As a new user, if you have difficulties with the terminal, we can work through that too -

That is the standard starting place, and go from there.



cheers

[hemu79]

Hi, I was able to install Lubuntu 13.10 on my computer with this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Alternate_ISO (Text based installation). About me, I'm not noobie with computers, just new with linux system.

After the installation I get stuck with same kind of flashing screen. At the startup when pressing "shift" GNU GRUP opens up. And from there I can see that the Filesystem is ok. Problem seems to be with graphics card. This is the information from terminal (or whatever root user...text thing.... root@Lubuntu:~# <---- that's where I wrote the code)

Many people seem to have problems with SiS, it is not so well supported. That's what I read from Forums.

Thanks, Hermanni

[mörgæs]

Correct, SIS is often a problem. There are workarounds (installed through a PPA) but it is probably easier to try Bodhi Linux first.

[hemu79]

Hi. Is this gonna help me with the problem concerning Lubuntu Graphics driver problem: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/saucy/man4/sis.4.html ?

And if yes, then I would need some help installing the driver.

Thanks, Hermanni

[Bashing-om]

hemu79; Hey,

I am undecided how best to proceed to get you a working driver for the SIS chip set.
See the ongoing bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/1066464
It appears the original maintainer is no longer doing so:

dpkg -l xserver-xorg-lts-<version>
dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-<version>

Maybe we can implement the referenced patch ?
Any input from those of knowledge of the SIS chip set are welcome to offer comments !



sometimes I wonder, other times I do not know

[hemu79]

Hi, I'm right now writing from my Bodhi Linux, finally got Wireless working :)

Next two give me errors, because not in Lubuntu?

Last one, I can use File Manager in Bodhi, and could not find xorg.conf in Lubuntu install.

Why I'm changing from Windows XP to Linux is because of the old SSD that I have. XP handles it not so good, it hangs alot. As I have read Linux can handle old SSD's better, and from short experience with Bodhi this seems about right, system is running smoothly and really fast all the time.

But anyway, what is better in Lubuntu compared with Bodhi? Or should I just start using Bodhi? GUI seems a bit strange in Bodhi.

Thanks, Hermanni

[Bashing-om]

hemu79; Still with out.
The out put of the "lshw -C display" shows there is no graphics driver loaded.

Presently not sure what to recommend to get a driver installed. Most likely will have to create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. However, that is stepping into matters I have no experience with. Never have had to make/alter that file.

When I get caught up, I will devote some effort to seeing what I can do.

Where there is a will



there is a way

[hemu79]

So, I was able to log into Lubuntu after making the xorg.conf file. Had to find a way to log into Terminal first, GRUB menu "e" and added word TEXT after QUIET SPLASH, and then booting with CTRL-X. Then I wrote into xorg.conf the information from this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/1066464 (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf).

And now I'm writing from Lubuntu!!

Haven't yet tried any video softwares to see how they run, but this is a one step ahead. I like these challenges with Linux system, have been able to solve many problems already, thanks to Google and this forum thought.

Thanks, Hermanni

[Bashing-om]

hemu79; You do good work !

Glad you are making such good progress.
Keep on keep'n on ->

Hi again, somehow I have now working driver... I installed it from page http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/saucy/man4/sis.4.html#contenttoc4 and it seems to work ok...

So... How did I get working Lubuntu 13.10 on my Acer Aspire 3002LC?

1. Installed Lubuntu with Alternate install https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Alternate_ISO

2. Logged into the Terminal mode from Grup, GRUB menu "e" and added word TEXT after QUIET SPLASH, and then booting with CTRL-X. Then I wrote into xorg.conf the information from this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...s/+bug/1066464 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/1066464) (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf).

3. Downloaded the driver from http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/saucy/man4/sis.4.html#contenttoc4

4. Re-installed the driver

5. Restart

6. sudo lshw -C display:

Everything seems to works ok, removed xorg.conf file, so acceleration should be on by default. At least I can drag Firefox window with youtube video running realtime without any problem. And found a little program called GtkPerf, and it gives me a result 19.3 sec with 100 rounds, seems ok after googling some results from that program. So I'm happy with this.

Thanks for all the help. Now I got my first Linux set up to do some exploring. Hermanni

hemu79; Still with you.

Just have not had a good solution:


6. sudo lshw -C display:
*-display UNCLAIMED
description: VGA compatible controller
<snip>
configuration: latency=0
<snip>


I am still concerned that there is no graphics drivers loaded.
The above says there is still no driver loaded. I am not familiar with the SIS graphics but, maybe the drivers are blacklisted such that the kernel can not load them, even though the drivers are installed onto the system ?

What is the new situation with the "new Driver" ?
What does:


sudo lshw -C display
ls -la /etc/modprobe.d
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

relate to us in respect to drivers.
You want to see a result similar to mine (radeon):


*-display:0

vendor: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI
<snip>
capabilities: pm pciexpress msi vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
configuration: driver=radeon latency=0


I wish I could help more, but;



help'n the best I can

during video playback, reduce the color depth and/or the resolution

hemu79; Looking good !

The log certainly indicates that the sis driver is loaded. Any problems now ?
I note the log has some hints to follow if there are any problems.



keep on keep'n on

[hemu79]

Hi, just installed Xubuntu 12.04 and it went without any problems.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log seems to be almost the same on this.

And on Xubuntu: sudo lshw -C display

*-display UNCLAIMED
description: VGA compatible controller
product: 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0
version: 00
width: 32 bits
clock: 66MHz
capabilities: pm agp agp-3.0 vga_controller cap_list
configuration: latency=0
resources: memory:e8000000-efffffff memory:e2100000-e211ffff ioport:a000(size=128)

So this is also same in both.

Xubuntu seems to handle sis-driver a little bit better, I tested GtkPerf, and it gave me a result 16.5 sec.

Because Xubuntu installed without any problem, and performance seems to be better I think Xubuntu is going to be my primary OS.

You mentioned some hints to follow from the log file, what are they? I might give it a try.

hemu79; Hey,

This is what first caught my attention:


Dear SiS76x user, your machine is using a shared memory framebuffer.
Due to hardware limitations of the SiS chip in combination with the
AMD CPU, video overlay support is very limited on this machine. If you
experience flashing lines in the video and/or the graphics display
during video playback, reduce the color depth and/or the resolution
and/or the refresh rate. Alternatively, use the video blitter.

to understand the logs: The legend is explained:

Now what I also do not comprehend, the logs say the sis driver is loaded, but then ->
"lshw -C display" does not report it at all, says no display and no driver loaded ... sheessshh.
Do not comprehend the why and whereof !

I hate to leave you with more questions than answers, but -> here I do not know.



sometimes I do wonder

Dear SiS76x user, your machine is using a shared memory framebuffer.
Due to hardware limitations of the SiS chip in combination with the
AMD CPU, video overlay support is very limited on this machine. If you
experience flashing lines in the video and/or the graphics display
during video playback, reduce the color depth and/or the resolution
and/or the refresh rate. Alternatively, use the video blitter.

Dear SiS76x user, your machine is using a shared memory framebuffer.
Due to hardware limitations of the SiS chip in combination with the
AMD CPU, video overlay support is very limited on this machine. If you
experience flashing lines in the video and/or the graphics display
during video playback, reduce the color depth and/or the resolution
and/or the refresh rate. Alternatively, use the video blitter.
