Re: [Cooker] SiS630
I'd like to improve the graphics on a SiS 645 board too. The screen flickers. I changed the horiz and vert entries to match the monitor specs but that gave no improvement. The SiS' driver results in Frequency out of range on the low side. Is there an easy way to fix this? Jim Tarvid I can use only framebuffer by default or add path to X4.2. There also pathes for kernel which allow to use 3d acceleration on this chipset look at: http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml for details. I'd like to have full working graphics car btw. Do you have 32 bit resolution as well. I cant do it with standard driver Kuba Jakub Pas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There was a lot of questions about sis630 chipset support in the 9.0 distribution however there is no completly clear if this chipset is already supported or is there a still ugly LCD bug on laptops. would you mind explaining a bit further? There was an ugly LCD bug, if you like to call it that way, in X4.1. However, for me, there is no obvious problem with X4.2 which has been around for quite some time now. I've been running 8.2 and 9.0 cookers on a laptop with sis630 without problems. So are you going to add fixes to Mandrake 9.0? ? - Mark -- MSc.

[Cooker] sis630
Lot of people claimed for patch for sis630 chpset. It especially caouse famous LCD bug on Laptops: Asus A1330, A1375, A1360, A1368, A1356D, A1358R, A1350D, Mitac 7521, Aristo Sirion, Progress 2800, Asem NB410S, IPC MagicNote/U and Medion 9438. Thomas Winischhofer ( http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml ). Also made patch for DRI so it is possible to get 3D acceleration on machines based on this chipset. Are you guys planing to do something about that? Kuba
