I installed Xubuntu 13.10 in an Acer Aspire 3000 Series. It uses the SiS 760/M760 chipset. I've been testing the patched driver that was packaged by Daniel Letzeisen for months, and it has been working without any problem. I'm very happy with the result, because I don't need any fancy graphic effects. It would be good if the original source code were patched. Although by your words I doubt that it ever happens :/ . ** Attachment added: Output of the lspci command. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/1066464/+attachment/3954703/+files/lspci.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066464 Title: Please patch xserver-xorg-video-sis for Saucy and Raring (was: SiS driver crashes Xserver with EXA acceleration) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/1066464/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I guess the way forward is to drop -sis from -video-all as a first measure and let -sis be demoted to universe, and then allow folks to patch the driver if needed.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066464 Title: Please patch xserver-xorg-video-sis for Saucy and Raring (was: SiS driver crashes Xserver with EXA acceleration) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/1066464/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Like others I uninstalled xserver-xorg-video-sis to make things work in Saucy. This is a computer for a non well versed Linux user and I am sure I will see the coputer back when some upgrade is done.

I can confirm with problem with an ASUS Degatto and Ubuntu 13.10. The mediahacks driver solves the crash. It seems there are still very small graphical glitches from time to time though.

There doesn't seem to be a clear consensus on removal vs non-removal of the package from the archive, so I won't do it for saucy and so unsubscribed ~ubuntu-archive for the time being. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066464 Title: Please patch xserver-xorg-video-sis for Saucy and Raring (was: SiS driver crashes Xserver with EXA acceleration) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/1066464/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Timo, I got the patch from the linked freedesktop bug. Upstream is not interested... Like I originally said, I personally believe the best way to deal with this is not installing it by default (i.e. not having video-all package depend on it). However, the patched version should still be in the repo for advanced users who want 2D accel and/or uncommon resolutions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066464 Title: Please patch xserver-xorg-video-sis for Saucy and Raring (was: SiS driver crashes Xserver with EXA acceleration) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/1066464/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Daniel, could you backport a copy of patched xserver-xorg-video-sis 0.10.7-0ubuntu5 package for Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS HWE stack - just rename the source and binary package to xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-raring and upload to your repository. If you don't have free time for this then please upload sources of patched xserver-xorg-video-sis 0.10.7-0ubuntu5 driver (with debian folder) to http://code.launchpad.net or github.com - then I will try to backport to xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-raring Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS HWE stack.

Okay, precise LTS packages are ready, but note that the patch only affects newer SiS chips.
