SiS 771/671 Mirage 3 Video Drivers

[Elzigzag]

Ah, I overlooked that fact completely, thnx for pointing me to this.
I just downloaded and installed the sis671_drv.la sis671_drv.so
sis671.dsis671_dri.so along with the xorg.conf giving on that page.
Seems to be working alot better now
.........

Well it seems it was useful someway the link I posted.
Now can you translate all those geeky things to desktop-user-human language?
Can you use Compiz? Or is it still forbidden to all of us, the SiS victims?

Well; Still no compiz I'm afraid; it doesn't seem to recognize the driver as useful.

Anyway; I downloaded sis671drv.la, sis671drv.so and sis671.dri.so and the xorg from your link.

Then I moved sis671_drv.* to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

sudo mv sis671_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers

and I moved sis671_dri.so to /usr/lib/dri

sudo mv sis671_dri.so /usr/lib/dri

Then I moved the xorg I downloaded from your link (I took the latest one)

sudo mv xorg.conf_loaddri2 /etc/X11/xorg.conf

And finally I restarted gdm by switching to tty.. ctrl alt +f1,f2 etc
login in with your username and password and type;

sudo service gdm stop

sudo service gdm start

(I know.. You can also use restart to restart gdm. but that doesn't always work out the way it should)

(I'm also on 64 bit btw, and did not recive the wrong elf class error)
( 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:09:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

Well, I forgot to mention the fact that I'm running Mandriva, just passing by here from time to time...
There is no ia32-libs (32 bit compatibility) rpm package for Mandriva and that's why I get the 'wrong elf class' error

Anyone tried Metisse with that driver?

[BreakDaLotus]

I've successfully installed the drivers on my Fujitsu v5535 and now i have a resolution of 1280x800 (60Hz). But i still can't have dual monitor on my laptop. It doesn't recognize my desktop monitor. Can someone help me?

Am i not following the topic? So, for you, video drivers and dual monitor don't have any relation... I think you have to learn something before write your replies. Another thing, the drivers of the graphic processor of my Fujitsu v5535, are the SiS 771/671. Thanks for your help

[emmerick]

iam sorry for my english, me i follow the topic

[RichardUK]

mhgsys, I was having the same issue as the others setting up my Dad's laptop, your xorg.conf did the trick, just copy and pasted it in, now running at it's native resolution. Many thanks.

[Rhodderz]

Hi i thought i'll add to this
How i got mine to work with 1280x768
in shell i typed
Xorg -configure
then when it finished i typed
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and i added under Section "Monitor" and then under Identifier "Monitor0"
HorizSync 20-107
VertRefresh 50-185

then scroll down a bit to you see Section "Device"
and find Driver and change whatever is between the quotes (forgot what was there) to
VESA

so in the end it should look like

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        HorizSync 20-107
        VertRefresh 50-185
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Monitor Model"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        ### Available Driver options are:-
        ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",

Hope this helps.

Good Day SIS671-Users

I've seen some people here trying to get an external screen running ...

With help of this blog -> http://estebanordano.com.ar/sis-m671...-debian-sidux/ I've managed get my Laptop and my external Widescreen working (1280x800 // 1440x900) (screenshot attached !!!

It's not running very stable though... actually it's crashing pretty fast...
If I start my laptop (fujitsu-siemens Esprimo Mobile V5535) without an external screen connected everything just runs fine... in 2D
But starting the laptop with an external screen attached my xserver crashes pretty fast...

If someone wants to try out... I've mirrored everything I use on my laptop (xorg.conf !!! and precompiled x64 drivers) -> http://www.subtron.org/SIS671-squeeze-64-bit.tar.gz
There should be no reason not to use the xorg.conf on an x86-os.
If you're on an x86-os just get the working x86-drivers

BTW I'm on Debian Squeeze x64 (which should be pretty much the same as the latest 10.04 Ubuntu)
