GOT IT!
Every LCD problem was related to some BIOS issue! After upgrading to the
BIOS version 1.10a XFree 4.1.0 and 4.1.99.2 are working perfectly with
the SiS driver.
Thanks Egbert.

Ok, I just had a look to starting it with 16bpp. It works on CRT, it
doesn't on the internal LCD.
I also found a BIOS upgrade. I will install it and I will let you know.
Bye and thanks,

This seems to be very strange since X 4.1.0 works perfectly with this
XF86Config-4. I have an ASUS A1000 laptop.
I will restart it using 16bpp later (now I cannot)
and I'll try to look for a newer BIOS.
I will let you know, thanks.
Bye,

Your BIOS doesn't support 1024x768 with 24bpp.

Just tried the latest CVS (17 dec 2001) on a SiS630 connected to a
normal CRT. X doesn't start at all :-)
Attached there is the log I found in /var/log.
Do you have any hints?

This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any
way. Bugs may be reported to [E

Now that it's Monday and you all read list mail again:
I fixed the sisfb driver for use with LVDS video (LCD) bridges including
the CHROMTEL 7005 TV converter. A lot of laptops using the SiS630 do not
use the SiS301 but this one instead.
The driver has only one problem: It doesn't know about ti

Addendum:
Egbert seems to be right with his assumption that X is spinning in a
waiting loop within the 2D engine when switching back to X from another
VT.
How do I know this? Simply set the option "NoAccel" in XF86Config-4 -
and it will work!

I do seem to have to - erm, kinda - appologize:
The APM problems rolled out to be a KDE problem. The aRts daemon did not
suspend itself before ALSA killed its drivers in /etc/apm/event.d and
that made the machine freeze. Thus, this is not a problem of the
sis_drv.o. However, there seems to be an

Using the binary from Thomas (CVS is rather slow over my DSL connect ??

but the signal on for the external VGA is ok. Killing the X server or switching
to another VT doesn't b

Some further details on my testing:
I have now compiled the current CVS driver for 4.1 (required just
changing one line in sis_driver.c to get rid of xf86ReadDomainMemory()
(if i recall correctly) and replacing it with (old) xf86ReadBIOS(). I
don't know whether or not this is proper - but the
(Sorry for creating a monologue here...)
Well, after porting Egbert's changes into the 4.1 driver, this situation
is as follows:
1) Screen gets initialized correctly - as far as I can see. I have not
yet recompiled the kernel to try without vesafb, but I can switch modes
in X (CTRL-ALT-+/-). 64

I guess this is all in sis_bios, I just copied the CVS files over the
