SiS 771/671 Mirage 3 Video Drivers

[ajoliveira]

Hello Poland! (have good friends there)

What are you running, 32-bit or 64-bit Lucid?

[dekoderek]

Nice to hear that.

It's a brand new 32-bit Lucid Lynx Ubuntu.

[ajoliveira]

ok, will try now to recompile the 32-bit driver. But, I bet it will only work on 1280x800 laptops.

[ajoliveira]

Driver re-compiled, now it is a native Lucid driver, please retry.

[dekoderek]

Thank you Antonio for you effort. Unfortunately it didn't work for me... I tried without xorg.conf, with generated by Xorg -configure and with yours. Always more less the same error. But at least the driver was loaded up.

You can check my log - http://download.dekoderek.net/sis-on...ira/Xorg.0.log

I was trying to add VertRefresh/HorizSync values and some Modelines and nothing helped.

hello,

i'm running ubuntu 9.10, i have sis 672 as graphic card.

i tried to upgrade to ubuntu 10.04, but i have some troubles on server (mismuch...), so i decided to download an image cd burn it and run it as live session, but i obtain a blanck screen,

any one help me!!!

@azzedline go to my xorg page and follow the instructions for vesa driver (the very first ones), it will be the only working

@dekoderek none of the available modes is supported by your card, on my card:
#:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 800
default connected 1280x800+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1280x800 60.0*
1024x768 60.0
800x600 60.0
640x480 60.0

next step will be downloading the current kernel driver and try to make it recognize our board...back in the night...

[dekoderek]

Yeah, and for me there's only

piotrek@stanleymarsh:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 76.0*
800x600 73.0
640x480 73.0

For default sis without any xorg.conf (as right after clean install) I don't even get 1024x768...

[ajoliveira]

ok, looked at the code.

{ PCI_CHIP_SIS670, "[M]670/[M]770[GX]" },
{ PCI_CHIP_SIS671, "[M]671/[M]771[GX]" },

these two chipsets were deliberately omitted from the code at some phase during a rewrite. It will require another substantial rewrite to get those supported. Now I don't have time to do it. We will have to live with the old recompiled driver for the moment being.

Hey!
I have problem with SiS Mirage 3. 10.04 Install doesn't work - when I run the LiveCD 10.04 and Alternate CD 10.04, because screen flickering. How can I install 10.04 if there are these problems?

Thank you in advance!
