I have read your Linux SiS page, grabbed some drivers, and tested them
with the SiS 305 card. I have followed the instructions in your page:
1. Compiled and installed a linux 2.4.18 kernel with the sisfb driver
sisfb_src_100202.tar.gz. I have tried some configurations:
a) VESA framebuffer driver enabled and disabled
b) compiled the vesafb driver into the kernel (instead of
as a module)
c) added the kernel parameters video=sisfb:mode:none,mem:12288 or
video=sisfb:1024x768x16:none,mem:12288
and with the DRM driver (without the patch from the web page
above).
2. Installed the SiS X driver sis_drv.o_260202.tar.gz.
3. Set up the X config file with a depth of 16 or 24 and specified
the option MaxXFBMem to 12288 in the Device section.
4. Tried to run the tuxracer program. The screen became black (or almost)
with a dark pointer in it. Some clicks were heard on the speakers,
and the system froze.
Attached is the output of the xdpyinfo program.
Any clues?
