[Bug 290727] Re: sisfb is not automatically loaded with a SiS display adapter
More information, it's possible to load the module with these instructions: http://askubuntu.com/questions/705878/can-i-fix-my-corrupted-lubuntu-splash-screen-having-disabled-the-graphical-term Looking at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf there is this comment: # Framebuffer drivers are generally buggy and poorly-supported, and cause # suspend failures, kernel panics and general mayhem. For this reason we # never load them automatically. So it seems that the reason this module does not load automatically is intentional. Now that the X.org driver for this chip has been removed and it relies completely on the framebuffer module, maybe it would make sense to look into slightly better support for the framebuffer modules? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290727 Title: sisfb is not automatically loaded with a SiS display adapter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/290727/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 290727] Re: sisfb is not automatically loaded with a SiS display adapter
I still have this problem on Ubuntu 15.10. Note that this version does not contain the xserver-xorg-video-sis anymore, but it does contain the sisfb module. Now the vesafb driver is loaded now, but it does not seem to be a module. I tried to use the instructions from this thread to load sisfb instead plus updating the initramfs files, but it didn't work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423381 I think that the in-kernel vesafb prevents sisfb from loading or it's not properly added to the initramfs.

I'm sorry to say there's no way I can test this bug. The laptop that suffered from the problem died.

This bug also affects Jaunty (9.04). Just did a clean install on my Averatec C3500 Tablet and the colors very very messed up. Much like the pictures @brettgraham had.

[Bug 290727] Re: sisfb is not automatically loaded with a SiS display adapter
And finally here is my Xorg.0.log when the sisfb module is loaded (I just added it to /etc/modules). I did not modify my xorg.conf (it is in fact blank). I'm not sure where sisfb is supposed to be loaded, but this doesn't seem like this fix should be too bad. At the worst, couldn't the x-server package install scripts be modified so that they add sisfb to /etc/modules if certain sis chipsets are found? ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log when running WITH the sisfb module (normal colors)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27517619/w_sisfb_Xorg.0.log -- sisfb is not automatically loaded with a SiS display adapter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
