[homer87]

Sorry for the late reply, you can grab the tarball from here. https://github.com/hellnest/xf86-vid...all/timo-patch

Thanks.

Well, hi again . I started with 10.10 using Gnome. And as I "found" a "3d" driver wich seemed to work better than sisimedia, I switched to Kubuntu 10.04.
...

I have a 64 bit system and can't test this driver. Also B. Lee no longer working in sis.

Is there any Mirage 3 Drivers for Ubuntu 11.04 and I have emailed Barros Lee a few times regarding the development of a SiS 771/671 driver for Ubuntu and I have also contacted SiS and Mark Shuttleworth with regard to the SiS drivers but so far I have not received any replies.

If you read carefully, you will found the answer by yourself

sorry guys.. not very good at this.

I did the above and have ended up with almost the correct display. It in 1024x768 on screen, but desktop is 1366x768.

I've just installed natty, can someone publish an idiots guide for me please?

Many thanks.

That fix resolution problem.

Hi all,

I've followed the thread and did:

$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

And I do have the right driver under the device section "sis671", but it's still messed up....

When I rebooted the computer it says:

! Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode
(EE) SIS(0):
*************************************************
(EE) SIS(0): ERROR
(EE) SIS(0): No valid modes found - check VertRefresh/HorizSync
(EE) SIS(0): END OF MESSAGE
*************************************************
(EE) SIS(0): Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration


what does this mean???
and I tried this method a couple of times, the first time after gdm stop my screen flashes, but the rest it's completely fine???

Thanks so much, any help is appreciated!!!!


Oh by the way, from lspci

Hi! I have SIS 771/671, 11.04 and followed instructions on

http://ajoliveira.com/ajoliveira/uk/software/xorg.php

And now I have 1200x800. The problem is that normal resolution for my screen (as it was configured under OS Windows) is 1200x768. Now “xrandr -q” lists 1280x800, 1024x768 etc. (no 1280x768…). What should I do in order to get 1200x768 if it possible?

I also have bad color pallete, but I don't know to point out this problem more specifically, I just see some color artefacts on pictures.

Thanks in advance!

You could try to add that mode with xrandr.
Show your

xrandr -q

output.
Also your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
would be interesting...
