I am a total Linux newbie, having just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an Acer Aspire 3000 laptop which is having serious issues running Windows XP. It has an SIS graphics chipset. The display of Ubuntu on the laptop is terrible! I have downloaded and applied xorg-driver-sis671_0.9_i386.deb (it tells me the package is already applied, or something). To illustrate the problem I took a screenshot on the laptop, transferred it to my desktop (running Windows XP Pro). To my surprise, the screenshot looks perfect! The attached picture shows my desktop PC displaying the screenshot saved on the laptop next to it. The laptop shows its usual Ubuntu picture. Clearly there is a major difference! The laptop seems to only be displaying a few colours and has a constantly scrolling horizontal flicker. Any ideas? I would be most grateful for any assistance. ** Attachment added: P1110873 (smaller).jpg http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26540800/P1110873%20%28smaller%29.jpg -- no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301958 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

I came to this site looking for an alternative driver. I have downloaded the version uploaded on April 4th and extracted the files to my desktop but I cannot figue out how to install it.

Here's a least modified version of the source, that's the most similar to xorg sis driver and works properly.

We won't have it any time soon. SiS has written a 3D driver actually. It is based on standard sis xorg driver but it has been not worked on since a long time. It doesn't use the __driDriverExtensions API so it won't work with Mesa 7.1 (intrepid and up). It doesn't look like Satux team is working on it ... so we have no chance for a 3D driver soon, at least until SiS releases the source code. -- no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301958 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

Sulamita - simply load a default xorg.conf using sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg . Your problem is most probably caused by the monitor configuration which is not needed.

For convenience I have prepared a debian package with sisimedia driver patched by fedora forum's user bahamot to work with xserver 1.5.x.
