Sure,
what you want me to wreck?

Let me know what you need me to do and what kind of system you would like it done on 
(gcc2.x or gcc3.x kernel version and so on) and I build it and test what you want me 
to.  
Problem is that I might not be really a reliable tester since my knowledge of 
programming is somewhat limited - you could also say not existent.
Also please note that I got a 630/730 chipset depending on where you look.
I would be glad to help out where I can though.

I am looking for people using a SiS6326, 620 or 530 video card/chipset.
Development of my SiS-XFree-driver for the named devices may stall
because I don't have any reliable testers at the moment.

This regards testing 2D acceleration and Xv.

If you're intested please drop me a (private) note.

That card has been a real nigthmare to me. I finished by confiugring it 
manually. If you are intrested, I can send you the xf86config file from home.

I could successfully use it with less memory than it has.

Doh!  Too bad I didn't know that before I bought my card.  The XFree86
website says it works...  Which xserver are you using, BTW?  The SVGA
one or the SiS one (the SiS one I found has a different prefix in the
name and seems to have been built by some company, I don't have the
box in front of me right now).

Yes!  Please send me your XF86Config file.  I have the same card (8MB
model) and haven't yet gotten X configured the way I want it (so I'm
still using it console-only, but I have gotten even more proficient
with bash :-)).  I was able to get 800x600 at ~16 bit color, I think,
but I want 1024x768 at 24 or 32 bpp (which I used to have with my
previous ATI Rage LT Pro).  Then I saw nice pink blocks when a window
or menu was closed.  I'm not sure if it was the card or the monitor
since I was using an old monitor that I don't have any specs for.

(I did read the man page and was configuring by hand, but I don't
think I quite "get it" yet)

you have to use xf86config (NOT XF86Setup program).
as far as i remmeber configuring this card, most problems i had were related
to resolution and refresh rate.

anyways:
1. when you run xf86config you should get to the screen where you actually
choose your graphic card - IT IS on the list (the number is 628 - i remember
that).
2. the graphic server for this card is XF86_SVGA. (this card does not
support VGA server, so you should NOT use the default graphics server which
is VGA.)
3. you MUST NOT probe this card - when you get to this option, choose NO
(there will be two screens related to probing your card - in both cases
choose the negative option)
4. memory size is of course 4096 Kbytes
5. as for monitor options you should use your exact figures - remember not
to overclock.

the setup under xf86config isnt that complicated as it seems to be. remember
to follow above rules - i have the same card and it worked for me perfectly
(potato 2.2r2).

later you will have to work with you display modes... quite embarassing..
any more questions, feel free to ask.

i hope i helped you a bit... :)

Mine works, sort-of. when i first log in, it wont render text, and i have to 
switch to console, then back. when I log out, it barfs all the textures left 
in the ram onto the screen and i have to go console, then back, and it works.

I'm glad for a positive report :-).  Ok, now I know for certain which

The monitor settings and display modes are where I'm not getting it

Yes.

Try different configuration programs, and if you have X 3.3.6 now, try 4.0.x. 
This card works for me with X 4.0.1 and 16 bit color depth. Some options in 
the config file are necessary to make the screen look good. Read 
www.xfree86.org/
And search the archive of this mailing list.



SiS6326 problem

2001-05-10 Thread spider
ive got this graphics card (SIS6326) and i have a big problem with setting
the resolution and size of the screen. im working with XF86Config file and
im trying to put those modes, but i always get too big screen for my
monitor. i dont have any virtula lines in the file.. but i just dont know
how to properly set those settings in Screeen Section.

the card has 4 megs of ram, monitor specs are: H-frequency 30 - 70kHz,
V-frequency 50 - 110Hz.
im using 1024x768 at 85Hz refresh rate unred windoze, and i would like to
run that under potato as well...
i used -bpp 16 option in the Xservers file (i still have xdm by the way, but
its a different problem...)

once when i used bpp 24 i could set the resolution and size i wanted but the
right part of the screen was like scrambled or so, of green color, and
duplicated image of the desktop. so i changed to bpp 16 but now i have no
idea how to fix it.

and one more thing. ive read somewhere that every time i change XF86Config
file (placed in /etc/X11) i should copy it to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 for the
changes to take effenct. and i noticed that if i dont copy it there - i got
same stuff..
is it right?? because i taked over that problem with some people and they
told me that they didnt have to do it..

well enough..

If anyone similar to this problem could help me, please?
i bow to the masters of linux..

Not sure of a solution, but here at work we've had the

Haven't tried it with Debian, mainly using ATI cards

Hi,

use SVGA server and then use xf86config to configure X. Try the video
cards numbered 242 or 626.

For us it worked with the Diamon Speedstart A50 case (ie 242)

Para que te pida el segundo CD (y te aparezcan en dselect todos los

- Entrar a dselect, poner el CD Binary 2 en la unidad de CDROM, ejecutar
UPDATE. Esto actualiza la lista de paquetes con una lista del CD #2, que

Esas tarjetas son un poco problematicas. El problema principal que tienen es
que no levantan con el Xserver VGA16, asi que el XF86Setup no funciona.

La tarjeta si sirve, pero la configuracion es un poco dificil. En este
momento no me acuerdo que es lo que hacen, creo que debe bajarse un XFree
mas nuevo, como version 3.3.3, o las mas nuevas. Luego se debe configurar
con el XF86Config.  Para estar seguro, busca en los archivos de esta lista,
y de debian-user. Ya alguien lo ha respondido alli.

La RIVA TNT2 funciona perfectamente. Aqui tenemos una corriendo muy bien.
Para que funcione hicimos lo siguiente:
 - Actualizamos a XFree 3.3.3 (Del sitio de netgod)
 - Bajamos el Xserver SVGA de www.nvidia.com  El archivo se llama:
RIVA-X-GLX-1.0-glibc-i386.tar.gz

   Ese tarball tiene un remplazo para el XserverSVGA del Xfree 3.3.3, y
tiene compilada aceleracion glx (como opengl), y los parches para VMware.
Con esta tarjeta hemos jugado Quake II con aceleracion glx, y Quake III
arena-test.

The SVGA server in slink does not support this chip. You can just download the 
SVGA
server
from XFree86 website, and manually link it to /usr/X11R6/bin/X.

Then edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config.

You will need to set the following options on:

Option "sw_cursor"
Option "no_bitblt"
Option "no_imageblt"
Option "noaccel"


Good luck.

Hi

I have an SiS 6326 up and running X, thanks to Carl
Mummert. He down loaded the Xfree server for 3.3.3.1
XVGA16 and XVGA servers. He copied them over the 3.3.2
servers then edited the XF86Config file. We could not
get the setup to run until we got that right, you likely
will have to work in the dark.

You can look in the mailing list archives for Carl's 
message regarding this. Or mail me back, I'll send you
my XF86config file, and once I get my mail reconstructed
from my crash of the mailer, I'll send his message to you.

Hello Paul:
I have intented that my video-car work editing XF86Config file but
I haven't get it. I think that XFree86 3.3.2 ( currently installed in
slink) don't support SiS6326 chip or not in the usual way (editing
XF86Config, run XF86Setup,...). I'd like to know if somebody have this
video chip runing in slink and  It is
working fine. In this case,  how can I do it ?.
Thanks
Antonio

I'm using a pre-XFree release of newer SiS X-Server.
I downloaded it from SuSE at late October (It was dated Oct 5 or so) from SuSE, 
but
it looks to be removed, so I think it must be already added on XFree distro.
BTW, the 6326 support is not complete, all hardware functions just give image
corruption, but it is better than nothing, and I'm using it
on my PII-266 with 16bpp and works fine enough.

I got one working a little while ago.  Here's how:

You have to go to xfree86.org and download the new XF_SVGA server 
(latest version). Put this somewhere, and make it mode 755. 
(You have to untar it, etc... ; put the actual X server somewhere)

Now, edit /etc/X11/Xserver and change the first line to match the path and
filename of the new server.

You have mo make an XF86Config file.  Use the text-mode xf86config
program (note the case) to do so.  

At this point, it will start X but things may be very ugly.  If they are,
look in the README.SiS file on the xfree86.org site, and add all of the
'debugging' options listed there into your XF86Config file.  

At this point, everything should be pretty.  If you like, you can try 
commenting out the debugging options, one at a time (with a # at the 
front of the line), until you see exactly which options you need.

I believe that I had to turn on the 'no_bitblt' and 'sw_cursor' options;
you may get diffreent results.

This worked fine for me a woeek or two ago; hope it helps.

If you have difficulty, mail me privately and I'll send you my (working) 
XF86Config file.


Carl

I think XFree86 3.3.3.1 is coming with support of this chipset. But NOT
using the accelerated S3 variant but the normal SVGA.
