I have just installed 9.10 on my fujitsu siemens esprimo v5535. Screen resolution was set at 800 x 600.

Hey ! Me too !

after searching i found the following deb file.

xorg-driver-sis media_0.9-1_i386.deb

just download install restart

Oh... that didn't work for me. I got this when I restarted:

(EE) module ABI major version (2) doesn't match server's version (5)
(EE) Failed to load module "sis" (module requirement mismatch,0)
(EE) No drivers available

I have no idea what any of this means. Can anyone help?

Could you please upload the Driver again, the maximum of 10 Downloads was already reached. You could also tell the guy who manages http://ncc-1701a.homelinux.net/~linux-sis/ that there's a new driver. Thanks!

Done!

Now I created a account and it have no more the 10 Downloads limit.
I've already sent the driver to him, but he didn't updated the wiki until now.

I compiled your driver, but when I try to run it, I'm getting the error message: undefined Symbol: resVgaIoShared. I have no idea where this comes from, but I also had to comment two lines and a } out, to make it compiling. The others were some goto error_0 or something like this.

I'm currently running X 1.7.4 (Gentoo), maybe this helps you a bit. (Btw. I also had to remove the man pages from Makefile.am, because there was also some error, but I didn't do any further investigation)

===============================================

Well, reporting frustration here as well (archlinux, xorg-server 1.7.3). Darkas, unfortunately, your only current solution is downgrading to some of the older 1.6.x versions and using Bartlomiej's driver.

helix0r, don't take me wrong, but Bartlomiej's driver is perfectly ok for xorg-server 1.6.x anyway (Sidux is still by 1.6.5).

My guess, after my own length of useless efforts, is that this source needs some serious tweaking. What a mess Xorg is, anyway....

[Darkas]

That's a real annoyance. I also tried to patch the driver, but unfortunately, I do have no experience with X programming (C(++) is my real native language ). helix0r, if you could help me a bit, I'd be able to fix the driver (I won't have the time to really improve it).

The problem with Gentoo is that downgrading is a very complex thing, so I'm forced to 1.7. But luckily, KDE SC 4.4 is really fast compared to 4.3, so I can even have desktop effects enabled and it's still fast.

===============================================

Forced? Well, with Gentoo you could always start compiling all over again from scratch and feed the dependencies. Wait "a bit" and voila, lol!

[Darkas]

Yeah, that's right Actually, I've got an incredibly fast and works-like-I-like-it system, except the problem with X, so there's no real reason for downgrading (it actually runs pretty fast (even with desktop effects), but it uses 20% (10% total) CPU all the time).

Someone knows what driver is useful on xorg 7.5 in 64 bit system?
Can somebody give instructions to compile?

Thanks.
