Patched SiS video driver (from ppa:dtl131/mediahacks , package xserver- xorg-video-sis version 0.10.7-0ubuntu5~raring1) works fine with SIS Real 256E Graphics (Asus P5S800-VM mainboard with SiS 671FX chipset) hardware.
I'm attaching Xorg.0.log from Ubuntu 13.04 system with SIS Real 256E Graphics (Asus P5S800-VM mainboard with SiS 671FX chipset) hardware - Xorg works fine with patched SiS video driver from ppa:dtl131/mediahacks , but doesn't start at all with default xserver-xorg-video-sis package from Ubuntu. Please don't remove xserver-xorg-video-sis package from Ubuntu Saucy, but use EXA patch https://launchpad.net/~dtl131/+archive/mediahacks/ , because patched SiS driver works fine on new Xserver with EXA acceleration. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661FX/M661FX/M661MX Host (rev 11) 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS964 [MuTIOL Media IO] LPC Controller (rev 36) 00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 IDE Controller (rev 01) 00:03.0 USB controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.1 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.3 USB controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131) wrote on 2013-09-26: > Timo, is it the best solution to just remove the package?
