SiS 771/671 Mirage 3 Video Drivers

Re: SiS 771/671 Mirage 3 Video Drivers!?!?
Will post the driver tomorrow evening. Cheers.

----------------------------------------------------

Are you suggesting that you've compiled the 3D acceleration driver? OMG, thank you so much! I can hardly wait!

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).

bgerlich, great job! Now I am in 1280x800.
Thank you, really.

But I have cannot watch some youtube videos. Images appear with "noise", and I cannot watch them. Sound is ok, but not images.

Any idea?

Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Configured Video Device"
    Driver        "sis671"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
    Device        "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

It looks like this:

Code:

       SISErrorLog(pScrn, "Chipset \"%s\" is not SIS 771/671, use the \"sis\" driver instead\n", pScrn->chipset);
       goto my_error_0;
    }

Should look:

Code:

//    if(pSiS->Chipset != PCI_CHIP_SIS671) {
//       SISErrorLog(pScrn, "Chipset \"%s\" is not SIS 771/671, use the \"sis\" driver instead\n", pScrn->chipset);
//       goto my_error_0;
//    }

I have no idea if the driver will work with Sis 662, it should but I have no way of verifying that claim. If it does - please report. If you need help compiling the driver send me line.

Tried to comment these lines out and it works now on D201GLY with Xorg 1.6 (1360x768 mode)
PS:
Driver sources I've got from: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/248202...671_0.9.tar.gz

Thanks for a good suggestion.

Yep, same here. Commenting out those lines makes the driver work on my Ubuntu 9.04 (i386) system...

I've attached the driver which works for me on my Intel D201GLY. Download and install with "sudo dpkg -i ./xorg-driver-sis671_0.9_i386.deb"

Also, keep in mind that this a serious hack at most

**RenatoMN** · June 9th, 2009

tnkflx,

just to confirm: is this attached .deb a packed version of the driver with lines 3330-3333 commented out?

I'm saving it to my pendrive. I'll try it on my Acer 5000 (SiS 760).

Very thanks

Yes it is

I'll see whether I can also get a newer version compiled...

**RenatoMN** · June 13th, 2009

Didn't worked for me. Still the same message

I can only confirm commenting out these lines works for my Intel D201GLY2 board.

What hardware are you using? Which message do you receive?

This is my xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver  "sis671"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport  0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Also, make sure you've removed any old sis drivers from your system...

Hi,
I'm having issues similar to the original poster's: I have a fujitsu-simens esprimo v5515 laptop. I can make it run at a max resolution of 1024x768@75hz with either vesa or sis 671 driver but its mad slow (ie apps take up to a sec to draw a window, most screen savers run at 10 fps max, full screen videos are unbearable). Also I'm unable to get dual display mode (tried xinerama & merged FB) which is my main complain really!

Additional info:

OS: Ubuntu 9.04

using the "sis" driver causes the os to pop a '(ee) no devices found' message during boot and will make it boot in basic graphics mode.

Any ideas?

**bgerlich** · June 15th, 2009

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

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