[Bug 1066464] Re: SiS driver crashes Xserver with EXA acceleration
Thanks, the patch does work for an SiS m650. I patched xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-quantal and installed the xorg lts quantal stack on Xubuntu 12.04 and it worked fine, although the EXA performance was not as good as the XAA. Thanks again, I hope your patch will be integrated as soon as possible. -- 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: 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
[Bug 1066464] Re: SiS driver crashes Xserver with EXA acceleration
I got chipset 6630 (SiS302LV) and have the same problem. X shows a black screen with pointer then crashes and retries continuosly. I tried patching sis driver with nihui fix and now it manage to show lightdm login interface before crashing and looping. Looks like a little improvement, but I guess it need more fixing. I also wonder if it uses sis300_accel.c instead of sis310_accel.c and maybe I need to patch EXA section in that file too. They are kinda different tho, don't know even where to start. -- 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: 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

If Ubuntu developers don't have time to fix xserver-xorg-video-sis package, then this package should be removed from Ubuntu 12.10 and newer releases (including Ubuntu 12.04.3), because then users can use Ubuntu desktop at least - vesa driver works fine on SIS hardware, but xserver- xorg-video-sis doesn't work at all since Ubuntu 12.10 :( Another case is automatically create /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with Option "NoAccel" "true" when SIS chipset is detected.

I'm not an Ubuntu/Canonical employee (just a volunteer bug triager), so take this with a grain of salt... Frankly, I wouldn't hold my breath for this to get fixed (upstream X.org doesn't seem interested). The best thing for SiS users right now is to install Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04.1/ Once you have 12.04.1 installed, make sure you DON'T install the xserver-xorg-lts-quantal package, or you'll hit this bug again.
