Bug#400181: Silicon Motion chip on amd64

2006-12-03 Thread Free Ekanayaka
Hi Alex,

I'm  the reporter  of the bug  about the  misbehaviour  of the silicon
driver with the Silicon Motion chip on  amd64 architecture. I take the
liberty to contact you directly..

Did you have a chance to work on the issue? I'm  still using the quick
 dirty patch you provided me a while ago, and as it works well for me
I've  tried  to propose its  inclusion  in the Debian package  for the
silicon X driver:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=400181

However, as that   patch cleary not  an  optimal solutio,  the  Debian
maintainer of the package does't feel like including it. As we are now
approaching to the next Debian release (called Etch), it will be great
if you could provide  a better patch,  so  that it can be  included in
time.

Thanks!

thanks for your fast  reply.  If you  can make it  for this week, it's
wonderful! however the  release process of  the next  Debian is  a bit
late, so I think we have still some weeks.
Ciao!

Silicon Motion chip on amd64 [part 2]

2006-10-02 Thread Free Ekanayaka
a few days ago I've posted here this message
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/09/msg01286.html
but  got no reply. So,  I've tried to contact  debian-amd64, and I was
suggested to remove the  NVIDIA card and  possibly contact  again this
list with further details:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2006/10/msg00015.html
I've tried  to   follow the  hint  which  has been  given meon the
debian-amd64 list, but it didn't work, see my reply here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2006/10/msg00020.html
Any hint?
Ciao,
Free

Silicon Motion chip on amd64

2006-09-29 Thread Free Ekanayaka
Hi all,

I can't get xorg  working with the  Silicon Motion, Inc. SM720 Lynx3DM
(rev c1), ID 126f:072, VGA controller on a etch/amd64 system.

Note that the same hardware works fine with etch/i386.

Here is the output of lscpi, the xorg.conf, and Xorg.0.log:

http://people.64studio.com/~free/xorg.conf
http://people.64studio.com/~free/lspci.output
http://people.64studio.com/~free/Xorg.0.log

I've tried both with xserver-xorg 7.0 and 7.1 any hint?

Ciao,

Free
