Xorg works but when I press CTRL+ALT+F1 I get a screen with an unusable screen. I see a small part of Xorg repeated a lon on the left side and on the right side many different colors. This part works with the older SiS driver for other cards. > At the same time, can this driver get included with Xorg so it will > work out of the box with the next release? > _______________________________________________ > xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development > Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel > Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel > _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
