I too have an onboard SiS 620 and a monitor that doesn't appear on the list. After much trial and error, I have found that the following settings work for me:
* XFree 3.3.6 (4.0.3 doesn't work for me) without 3D acceleration. * Generic monitor that can do 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz (which is the closest match to the specs given in my monitor's documentation). The high frequency choices don't work for me. Try this, and be prepared to do some trial and error work yourself. Given the number of queries I've seen about SiS video adaptors generally, and the SiS 6xx specifically, I've decided to avoid SiS products on my next computer. -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras http://www.srcopan.vze.com/ On Fri, 03 May 2002 21:36:45 +0000 "Sofiane Cirat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I bought Linux mandrake 8.1 to give it a try, I have a PowerPC 360 Mhz, > 152 Mb of RAM, a KDS monitor, and a graphic card (that Linux has detected as > SiS 620 )built-in the motherboard.
