Hello, Jay Check that you installed the right driver for your architecture (32 or 64 bit) and that you have copied a fresh xorg.conf as the one in my pages. The code for the drivers in 10.04 is slightly different from the one I use now, but what you describe seems to point to some oddity in xorg.conf.

You may very easily do this on your own files with Linux stripper, the equivelent of the windoze I was talking about: strip --strip-unneeded sis671_drv.so I didn't do any .deb on purpose my system requires that the drivers are in a sub-directory of the standard folder, have to check why: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/old_sis the drivers work with 1280x800 since the beginning, that's what I got to test those, only lately I tried the patched tpurch code (I think) that I knew worked with the 1366x768 display. @martin, I will make the code public and warn you, before the end of the week.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards
Hello, I have been out on another non-profit, making a conference on advanced audio and electroacoustics, there I am a pro, not in video...@tpurch, it seems as I told Martin in private I used some branch of your published code on the last version with a few modifications i did. The code used before was another branch, which was not 1366x768 compatible. If it has debug sumbols that will be on the makefile, and quite frankly, the driver looks quite the same in terms of size...who knows, i'm (very) familiar with dsp fixed-point assembler, kernel drivers I didn't touched those since win32, did about 4, written in 32-bit 8086 assembler. Coming back to the latest code, I have a few notes taken, told Martin that I would ship the source to him and yes. He will have the code and instructions this week, I will publish those, after I finally sit down and look at what I did to make that totally patched code compatible with Maverick. No tracking records exist for that code, and everything is a mess, that's why this has to gain access to tracked repositories. I tried to diff those from previous versions anad was a little astonished, and evn produced a code migrating directly from 8.10 to Maverick, but the flaws were there. From the results patent on-screen when starting up, there are problems to be solved in this driver. When I picked up from the changes made after 9.04, the driver was already an unfriendly one (Plymouth incompatibility), so my 9.04 version, which source code I preserve, should be the basis for any changes, but taking into account all the others since 8.10. Fortunately I kept just about everything. Now it is time to organize it and deliver it to who will be in charge. What I did up to the moment was trying to avoid the worst, keeping good people using a nice, community-maintained system. But, again, community- maintained does not mean chaos, and so it is good that things will be getting back on track, because there are huge quantities of these systems around the world. If this does not enter the current branch in xorg, I will continue to patch, because I still have a couple of this systems around. What I cannot do is to retrace the past work. I don't have the immediate expertise or time to do that.

@Pander, greetings, your 2 first assumptions are correct, smaller in size, smaller in memory usage yes but faster in processing not really. On properly-built systems debug symbols are invoked when somebody need those at the debbugging phase. Briefly reviewed the code since 8.10, if the debug stuff was there, it has been since the very beginning, and as in windoze, an utility must exist to purge it from the objects. I will take a brief look at that asap. What the xorg guys should do in my humble opinion is to very visibly publish a list of the supported hardware, and propagate it to all distributions. This way, any promitent system buyer would be suitably warned agains buying proprietary pita hardware making us going though all this.

The problem I have of broken display at start-up has nothing to do with acpi. It happens after I for some reason running w* (to communicate with a serial device after its pipe was broken on virtualbox). The machine is multi-boot, and every time I run w* now, I have to e2fsck my boot disk. In spite e2fsck does not show any corruption, if I do it the display is restored. Weird, will investigate further, making copies of the boot files.

Guten tag Jonas This very bug is marked as won't fix. I will try the driver pointed by Ricardo, usually 32-bit drivers won't work on 64-bit os, I have seen it elsewhere so the reason for the question. I now have both my standard working machines in a bad state with production Lucid, the other one (a spare old toshiba a10) does not display a bit, and was working on Karmic. Please do understand that we, Ubuntu unconditionals (came from Fedora when they told us kde4 was the only issue, and it was unusable at the time) feel stuck now, having their business computers stuck with an LTS. If I could compile the old driver I would have made a shortcut on the migration. I will try to do my best to help others. And to end, my problem is that bugs are marked as won't fix, but no alternative advices or questions are posed to get to know the relation of this bug with other bugs and direct questions to proper listeners, so improving the general quality of community support. This is said by a guy having for long developed 32-bit assembler kernel modules for w*. Arrogance here is seems to be the motto, we could improve a lot if curiosity and tolerance could be employed.

Hi, this is a real PITA, see bug 301958 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=95896 this card (771/671) is not detected and there is no bloody driver for it on the kernel. I was a provider of 32 and 64-bit karmic and Jaunty drivers on my site because most of these good people can't compile and I just did the Lucid jump to help them, they were complaining. This is a serious Ubuntu flaw cause there are a bunch (thousands) of these computers on the market and the f. manufacturer provides no support. I have to add that i hate software (I am an hardware/firmware specialist) and I only touch it when I have to. And debian bug has the same symptoms, the header lack is the same, since ubuntu closely follows debian, solution will probabably be the same. All around on most distros we get the same complaints...

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards
Hi My driver is a repackaging of the Winischofer driver for both Jaunty and Karmic. It is working 100% on my laptop, either with the integrated lcd (1280x800) or with an external monitor. But I heard that there are cases of difficult coordination between the lcd and the external monitor. I have 256k allocated to the video (shared memory) and not that the hardware is not dual-head, so don't count on different resolutions on the lcd and the external monitor, the other day i hooked an old 15 just to make sure and immediately lcd resolution was at 1024x768 after reboot.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 332140] Re: sis 771/671 graphics board only works in vesa mode
For long I have a complete set of ubuntu drivers on my site for this board with ful instructions, I just didn't compile the latest 32-bit driver, check: http://ajoliveira.com/ajoliveira/uk/software/xorg.php or if anybody prefers it in Portuguese: http://ajoliveira.com/ajoliveira/pt/software/xorg.php If somebody really needs the 32-bit driver for 9.10, I wil compile it, but the 9.04 one should work. I maintain this bug open because I believe this driver should be a part of the kernel.
