SiS 771/671 Mirage 3 Video Drivers

Thanks for the reply bgerlich

Or better yet - use stock xorg.conf, provided by ubuntu.

I tried setting up dual screen before changing the xorg.conf, but only the VSA driver gets loaded so I get the same result as mentioned above.

remove this line " Option "DRI" "off"" from xorg.conf and you are good to go.

I'll try that and get back to you.

remove this line " Option "DRI" "off"" from xorg.conf and you are good to go.

No result. It doesn't seem to make any difference

1. The removal of the line should speed things up. You can also add "Driver "sis671"" line to the stock xorg.conf to load the sis671 driver. Also please include your card's PCI ID so that I can include it in the next driver. You can find it using lspci and lcpci -n

2. Xinerama should work with the driver, post your Xinerama xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log after starting Xinerama.

Took me long enough but I finally got around to it.

Below is a beta version of sis 771/671 driver package for Ubuntu Jaunty. Now with working 2D Acceleration (XAA).

As before - simply install the deb package and make sure that your xorg.conf is the one provided by the system (no modifications required).

Thank you very mutch! working perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my Xorg.conf for xinerama

I managed to get back to load X by changing Driver "sis671" to Driver"sis", however this means the screens are mirroed at 800x600 and can't be changed.

Great job! Any chance of obtaining the driver for Debian Lenny?

**boli88** · June 18th, 2009

Great, now I have 1280x800 resolution...fianly. But colour depth is only 16 bit. How can I get 24 or 32 bit?

Reconfigure the x-server to 16 bit colour depth, this results in 24 bit colour depth (bug in SiS driver)
