mm.. It _should_ autonegotiate. Perhaps the device at the other end is old or not very good. Hi, it should but do not autonegotiating. All computers are connected to switch CentreCOM FH716SW and there are several types of cards on this computers like 3COM Tornado, 8139 chip, NE2000, etc. http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html is the official place. It doesn't tell you much. vortex.txt has a pointer to 3com's documentation. Heavy going. When the NIC is running in full-duplex mode it *assumes* that once (by default) 128 bytes of a frame have gone onto the wire, the remainder of the frame will be sent without any collisions. This assumption allows it to reuse part on the on-board memory - it transfers more data from the host into the place where the currently-transmitting frame used to reside. If another host then comes along and generates a collision this late into the frame, the NIC detects it but cannot back off and retransmit the frame as it would normally do. Because the frame's memory has been reclaimed. All it can do is raise an interrupt and complain. Thanks for this informations ...

Re: SiS 630
> It's nice; we have the same notebook... Yes, my real problem is X. Thank you > for your detailed answer. > > How could I configure frame-buffer support? Which dist+kernel+X version do > you use? Hi, so, now I used RH 6.2 with 2.4.3 kernel on my notebook. X is something from CVS, don't know what exactly now, but I think it's something about 4.0.2-3, don't know, attaching XF86Config and sis_drv.o for you. So, you must enable VESA frame buffer support in kernel Console drivers ---> [*] VGA text console [*] Video mode selection support ... Frame-buffer support ---> [*] Support for frame buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL) ... [*] VESA VGA graphics console ... [*] Advanced low level driver options <*> Monochrome support <*> 2 bpp packed pixels support <*> 4 bpp packed pixels support <*> 8 bpp packed pixels support <*> 16 bpp packed pixels support <*> 24 bpp packed pixels support <*> 32 bpp packed pixels support ... <*> VGA characters/attributes support Now, you must configure lilo in /etc/lilo.conf, for instance I've got: image=/boot/bzImage-2.4.3-fb label=2.4.3-fb read-only vga=791 root=/dev/hda3 vga=791 is resolution and bpp for frame buffer. Other resolutions you can find in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt. (there are hex numbers in this file and I'm using decimal in lilo.conf). Now, you can safely reboot your computer and you will have frame buffer support and properly set LCD display. Now, you can use accelerated Xserver from XFree86 3.3.6, or XSiS_SVGA (you can find it on www.sis.com.tw pages). It will work, but when you want switching from console to X and back, you will fail. If you want switching you must upgrade to 4.x release and use driver from attachment (/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers) - I attach my XF86Config for X 4.x too. This driver sends me Rene Rebe . I try to contact SiS driver developers on internal development list, but no success, I try to contact directly SiS, no answer too ;( So, if you want X, the best solution is use X 4.x release with attached driver. Are there some one who is responsible for SiS support in kernel? This support doesn't work too as in X ;(( R.obot.V P.S. Remember - frame buffer resolution (may bpp too) must be the same as X resolution or you will fail again. -- _ |-| __ Robert Vojta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -= Oo.oO =- |=| [Ll] IPEX, s.r.o.

Re: SiS 630
Hi, I have this chipset in my new notebook (Gericom Webboy). Everything works fine, but only modem doesn't work because it's software modem. I tried to search net for drivers, tried to write to SiS (no aswer for two weeks ;(), etc. -> no success. But, if you have this chipset in notebook you should have problems with LCD display with SiS chipset. I have tried XServer from SiS, XFree 3.3.x and XFree 4.x and no success. Every try I see blank noisy display ;( Everything work, but only display is not properly set. So, I tried kernel frame buffer support and it partly works - SiS kernel frame buffer support doesn't work too, kernel VESA frame buffer support works fine. Next thing is, that if you want for instance 1024x768 resolution in X, you must set up vesa frame buffer to 1024x768 resolution too ;( So, if you have notebook with this chipset and want X support, you must set kernel VESA frame buffer support (not SiS support!) and set the same resolution for frame buffer and for X.

Next thing is, that if you want for instance 1024x768 resolution in X, you must set up vesa frame buffer to 1024x768 resolution too ;( So, if you have notebook with this chipset and want X support, you must set kernel VESA frame buffer support (not SiS support!) and set the same resolution for frame buffer and for X. When you see blank noisy display everything works fine, X started, applications too but they are invisible due to bad display setting. 00:01.1 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 10/100 Ethernet (rev 80) Network device support --- Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --- SiS 900/7016 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support 00:01.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 (rev 07) 00:01.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 (rev 07) USB support --- (works fine) 00:01.4 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 7018 (rev 01) Sound --- Trident 4DWave DX/NX, SiS 7018 or ALi 5451 PCI Audio Core 00:03.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.: Unknown device 6872 (rev 05) General setup --- PCMCIA/CardBus support --- PCMCIA/CardBus support [ ] CardBus support [ ] i82365 compatible bridge support R.obot.V -- _ |-| __ Robert Vojta [EMAIL PROTECTED] -= Oo.oO =- |=| [Ll] IPEX, s.r.o.

Re: SiS 630
It's nice; we have the same notebook... Yes, my real problem is X. Thank you for your detailed answer. How could I configure frame-buffer support? Which dist+kernel+X version do you use? Hi, so, now I used RH 6.2 with 2.4.3 kernel on my notebook. X is something from CVS, don't know what exactly now, but I think it's something about 4.0.2-3, don't know, attaching XF86Config and sis_drv.o for you. So, you must enable VESA frame buffer support in kernel Console drivers --- [*] VGA text console [*] Video mode selection support ... Frame-buffer support --- [*] Support for frame buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL) ... [*] VESA VGA graphics console ... [*] Advanced low level driver options * Monochrome support * 2 bpp packed pixels support * 4 bpp packed pixels support * 8 bpp packed pixels support * 16 bpp packed pixels support * 24 bpp packed pixels support * 32 bpp packed pixels support ... * VGA characters/attributes support Now, you must configure lilo in /etc/lilo.conf, for instance I've got: image=/boot/bzImage-2.4.3-fb label=2.4.3-fb read-only vga=791 root=/dev/hda3 vga=791 is resolution and bpp for frame buffer. Other resolutions you can find in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt. (there are hex numbers in this file and I'm using decimal in lilo.conf). Now, you can safely reboot your computer and you will have frame buffer support and properly set LCD display. Now, you can use accelerated Xserver from XFree86 3.3.6, or XSiS_SVGA (you can find it on www.sis.com.tw pages). It will work, but when you want switching from console to X and back, you will fail. If you want switching you must upgrade to 4.x release and use driver from attachment (/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers) - I attach my XF86Config for X 4.x too. This driver sends me Rene Rebe rene.rebe -- gmx.net. I try to contact SiS driver developers on internal development list, but no success, I try to contact directly SiS, no answer too ;( So, if you want X, the best solution is use X 4.x release with attached driver. Are there some one who is responsible for SiS support in kernel? This support doesn't work too as in X ;(( R.obot.V P.S. Remember - frame buffer resolution (may bpp too) must be the same as X resolution or you will fail again. -- _ |-| __ Robert Vojta [EMAIL PROTECTED] -= Oo.oO =- |=| [Ll] IPEX, s.r.o.
