Hi, I appreciate that someones still working on this. I tried installing
xserver-xorg-video-sis from unstable, but, as far as I remember, I had issues
because I would have had to upgrade many more components of xserver-xorg in
order to upgrade xserver-xorg-video-sis. And I have limited internet access
(only sometimes, and I shouldn't download too much.)
However, I am no longer using that computer, and I am now using one that has an
nvidia driver.
Thanks again for looking taking the time to look at it.
Matthew
