HI

On Sis chips I use the Alternate install cd.

Install.
Restart, update at command line, or low graphics mode.
Install or check to see if correct driver was installed.
Restart.

Even on Karmic I've had that video corruption with SiS on install.

Sharky


I've made the same post here: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/sh...958967&page=37

and I can only suggest to all have this talk there; since that's an active thread on the sis 771/671
anyway; since there's gonna be same discussion on this page; also posting it here

| || ||

I've just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my belinea c1541 laptop, which also has a sis 771/671
@MichealH ..read below.. plymouth solution is on the bottom of this text.

Anway; I've used the drivers from http://estebanordano.com.ar/sis-m671...-debian-sidux/

take the install files, unzip them

once unzipped copy or move them (I just copied them) *in terminal go to the path you've
unzipped them in f.e; cd /home/user/Downloads

Code:
sudo cp sis671_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

hen I generated a xorg.conf.

I opened up a terminal and typed;
Code:
sudo service gdm stop



| 
| | 1 which had only scrambled text.
Anyway; logged in blindly
became root with
Code:
sudo bash

then generated a xorg.conf file with

Code:
Xorg -configure

started gdm again with

Code:
service gdm start

Opened up a terminal again;

moved the autogenerated xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:
sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and restarted gdm again;

Code:
sudo service gdm restart
I now have a very nice workable screen. )(1280x800)

hen I noticed the plymouth problem and the fact all tty's were still scrambled.
However; the solution is easy;
open a terminal;
become root
Code:
sudo bash

type;
Code:
echo blacklist vga16fb > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-vga16fb.conf

type;
Code:
update-initramfs -u

Code:
reboot

Everything is working like a charm.

wait few minutes and the ubuntu installer lookup with

800x600.

2. install ubuntu

3. download and extract this:

@master2
he biggest difference would be the xorg.conf included in
your download; (and rebooting instead of just restarting
X/gdm: lol)
..btw, you better reboot after you just fresh installed ubuntu
or you would be still running live cd, trying to include
drivers on that....
Anyway;I wonder if that xorg.conf is multi compatible.
(edit: tested it; your xorg.conf also works.,)

I think what he's referring to is one of the V 's
(Ctrl+Alt+F1, for example). Another way is to boot into
recovery mode , by adding "single" at the end of the linux
boot line. Do this through boot boot menu.

My "howto" contains the way to generate a xorg.conf.new

which includes all these "needed" options, (as you can see on
my generated xorg.conf)

It would have been better if you just linked people to the post

I had problems when I did a dist-upgrade about two weeks ago on my Sidux installation (it¶s
pretty much debian sid with a twist).

In the ubuntu forums, I found that someone had the same install that I have, and took the source
that he compiled and tried to make it work on my laptop.

he error message I got was `undefined Symbol: resVgaIoShared` and apparently it was because
the driver used a deprecated function of xorg.

Here is the source code.

Here is the install files (with instructions).

Hi, thanks for the info.

I believe it still does not provide 3D acceleration support?

No, it doesn¶t. But it can handle a dual monitor setup [post in spanish]:

Do you know how to compile in x864 system?

4.|

4 eordano said at 2:39 pm on February 4th, 2010:

yes, @delorean. download the source, extract it.

run `./configure && make && sudo make install`. If any packages are missing when
running `./configure`, download them. he packages needed are the µ-dev¶ versions.

after that, locate the installed files and check that they are in the correct folder, i think this
Makefile is configured to install on µ/usr/local/lib/«¶ and my X on Debian, for instance,
needs the driver on µ/usr/lib/«¶

Gracias, Esteban! I updated Debian testing (and, by consequence, xorg) but i forget that
sis671 is a comedy for Linux support. he driver already previously installed doesn¶t
works with xorg 1.7.5, only 1.7.4. his post saved the day. hanks! Higher resolutions
now works again.

I will try it!

And later, how can i update this driver?

See you.

Esteban, muy bueno la verdad. El problema es que sigo siempre con este problema:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27107413/DSC00298.JPG
La pantalla se parte en dos o algo así.
Con unos drivers binarios de Mandriva pude hacer andar en Ubuntu 9.10, pero nunca
tengo exito compilando desde el código fuente, siempre pasa lo de la imagen.
No te parecería una buena idea armar un repositorio git? o un google code o algo así?
digo para tratar de centralizar y unificar un poco los esfuerzos que se hacen, porque todo
lo que se ven son parches que hace la gente en foros y eso, pero mucha confusión
general.
Si te gusta la idea, contas conmigo, te dejo el correo: daniel.uranga (en) gmail (punto)

Adicionalmente, si sabes de alguna solución para mi problema contame también. Saludos

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DRICFLAGS

Leonardo, try:

`sudo apt-get install xfree86-dev`

or different µ-dev¶ versions of tis.

ou are getting that message because you don¶t have all the X libraries.

Hello, I am using this laptop: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/185894

he graphics SiS M672 Integrated, SIS M672 + 968 Graphics Chipset.

I had no luck with your driver, followed the readme but may have installed it wrong.
Using 9.04 and some solutions from the Ubuntu forums, I managed to change the
resolution to 1280×800, but this distorts the intended 1366 x 768 resolution.

If you have any advice or suggestions I really appreciate it; should I install 10.04 before
trying again?

hanks
Alex

13.|

13 eordano said at 10:11 am on April 1st, 2010:

Alex:

I think it¶s best for you to wait for 10.04.

Unfortunately, it comes with Xorg version 7.5; and so far, I only know of this version of
the drivers (I got them from the ubuntuforums) that work with the card.

Regarding the resolution; you should try searhcin in your xorg.conf and erase all other
configurations except for 1366×768. If you need more help, contact me via twitter

15 eordano said at 11:20 am on April 1st, 2010:

Ugh, that looks bad. It¶s Xorg version 7.6 =S

hey are deprecating a lot of functions lately, and these drivers don¶t work without the
old functions. I¶m sorry, I can¶t help you any further; try editing the source and take away
the functions or contact someone at Xorg for a special version with deprecated functions.

dear, esteban. great work, great post. i¶m running lucid beta 1 process.
i try to do copy paste things, but it didn¶t work. there is no such thing Xorg.conf in the
/etc/X11 directory. that¶s really weird.

Hello!

Many thanks for the driver. For me it was perfect for 32bit Lucid, but it didn¶t work for
64bit. I hope there is a solution somewhere for my system too. I copied here my
xorg.0.log:

Many hanks

21.|

21 eordano said at 10:16 pm on May 2nd, 2010:

For 64bits, Peitli, you¶re going to have to rebuild the driver. Check if you have the
developer packages (I can¶t remember all their names) and try building it as I wrote on
the post.

ou can tell what packages are you mising by looking into the build log and google the
header file that you are missing, plus something like ³.deb´.

\o/

In the Ubuntu 9.10 I was using the sisimedia driver, but it failed on Ubuntu 10.04.

It worked for me!

But I¶m not with the highest color depth.
I used just the second file, should I use the first file too?

Congrats for your blog and for this post!

Hola, Esteban
Estoy hace mucho tiempo buscando el driver 3d para linux del chip sis672. En kubuntu
9.10 conseguí una muy buena funcionalidad 2d con el driver sismedia (en 32 bits). He
leído en algún foro que alguien está escribiendo el driver 3d ¿enés idea de algún sitio
donde me pueda enterar cuando se lance? ¿o de algún driver 3d que funcione en otra
distribución?
Muchas gracias.
Saludos.

Just a note for other gentoo¶ers, I just got gentoo + Xorg 1.76 working with your above

First it blew up compiling because of some missing dependancy to do with Man pages.
But I just hacked all the man page references from the makefile and removed the man
directory (ugly but its past 1am here«) and bingo, mythtv playing tv stream full screen

Ill look at posting it back upstream to gentoo when I have time after the weekend.
