Driver for 1280x800 SiS Mirage 3 screens : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/983756/sis671_10.x.tar.gz Extract sis671.la and sis671.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers and the xorg.conf to /etc/X11. This is the Plymouth solution:

the solution is easy; open a terminal; become root Code:sudo bash

type; Code:echo blacklist vga16fb > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-vga16fb.conf

type; Code:update-initramfs -u

Code:reboot

Re: Lucid with Sis Mirage 671/672 HI On Sis chips I use the Alternate install cd. Install. Restart, update at command line, or low graphics mode. Install or check to see if correct driver was installed. Restart. Even on Karmic I've had that video corruption with SiS on install.

Sharky I've made the same post here: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/sh...958967&page=37 and I can only suggest to all have this talk there; since that's an active thread on the sis 771/671 anyway; since there's gonna be same discussion on this page; also posting it here

THIS WORKS on ubuntu 10.04 I've just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my belinea c1541 laptop, which also has a sis 771/671 @MichealH ..read below.. plymouth solution is on the bottom of this text. Anway; I've used the drivers from http://estebanordano.com.ar/sis-m671...-debian-sidux/ take the install files, unzip them once unzipped copy or move them (I just copied them) *in terminal go to the path you've unzipped them in f.e; cd /home/user/Downloads Code:sudo cp sis671_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

Then I generated a xorg.conf. I opened up a terminal and typed; Code:sudo service gdm stop

Then switching to tty1 which had only scrambled text. Anyway; logged in blindly became root with Code:sudo bash

then generated a xorg.conf file with Code:Xorg -configure

started gdm again with Code:service gdm start

Opened up a terminal again; moved the autogenerated xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf Code:sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and restarted gdm again; Code:sudo service gdm restart

I now have a very nice workable screen. )(1280x800) Then I noticed the plymouth problem and the fact all tty's were still scrambled. However; the solution is easy; open a terminal; become root Code:sudo bash

type; Code:echo blacklist vga16fb > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-vga16fb.conf

type; Code:update-initramfs -u

Code:reboot

Everything is working like a charm.

Re: Lucid with Sis Mirage 671/672

after wait until 10 minutes, it works! desktop shows up... thanks michealh...

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx MHGSYS can you please provide "an idiot's guide" how to solve this issue. I tried what you wrote but still no joy. I don't know what you mean by switching to TTY. thank you, navy Sure; THIS WORKS on ubuntu 10.04 explained version download the drivers from http://estebanordano.com.ar/sis-m671...-debian-sidux/ (take the install files), unzip them once unzipped copy or move them (I just copied them) Open up a terminal and go to the path you've unzipped them in.(use the cd command to navigate to directory's) f.e; cd /home/user/Downloads Code:sudo cp sis671_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

then stop X Code:sudo service gdm stop

you'll have to do next part blindly) (We need to stop X or we won't be able to auto-generate a xorg.conf.new Code:Switch to tty1 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+f1

(f2 for tty2, f3 for tty3, etc.. (f7 should be X) Even though you won't be able to read it (yet) you can login Code:type in your username and press enter

Code:type in your password and press enter

Now you're logged in you want to become root; type; Code:sudo bash

Code:type in your password

Now your root; type in Code:Xorg -configure

(this will create a xorg.conf.new in your home directory) and start gdm again with Code:service gdm start

Once there; Open up a terminal again; move the auto-generated xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf with Code:sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and restart gdm by typing; Code:sudo service gdm restart

Fix the plymouth and the unreadable tty problem like this: Open up a terminal and typ

Code:sudo bash

Code:enter your password

type; Code:echo blacklist vga16fb > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-vga16fb.conf

type; Code:update-initramfs -u

and reboot Code:reboot

SiS M671/M672 driver for xorg xserver 7.5 on Debian / SiduxFecha: February 2nd, 2010 | Categora: Linux | 43 Comments

I had problems when I did a dist-upgrade about two weeks ago on my Sidux installation (its pretty much debian sid with a twist). In the ubuntu forums, I found that someone had the same install that I have, and took the source that he compiled and tried to make it work on my laptop. The error message I got was `undefined Symbol: resVgaIoShared` and apparently it was because the driver used a deprecated function of xorg.

Here is the source code. Here is the install files (with instructions).

43 Comments on SiS M671/M672 driver for xorg xserver 7.5 on Debian / Sidux

1. 1 K Hendrawan said at 9:04 pm on February 2nd, 2010: Hi, thanks for the info. I believe it still does not provide 3D acceleration support?

2. 2 eordano said at 10:44 pm on February 2nd, 2010: No, it doesnt. But it can handle a dual monitor setup [post in spanish]: http://estebanordano.com.ar/dual-monitors-setup-xorg-conf-para-la-tarjeta-sis-m672-enlinux-debian/

3. 3 delorean said at 8:29 am on February 4th, 2010: Do you know how to compile in x8_64 system?

4. 4 eordano said at 2:39 pm on February 4th, 2010: yes, @delorean. download the source, extract it. run `./configure && make && sudo make install`. If any packages are missing when running `./configure`, download them. The packages needed are the -dev versions. after that, locate the installed files and check that they are in the correct folder, i think this Makefile is configured to install on /usr/local/lib/ and my X on Debian, for instance, needs the driver on /usr/lib/

5. 5 Leonardo said at 8:54 pm on February 6th, 2010: Gracias, Esteban! I updated Debian testing (and, by consequence, xorg) but i forget that sis671 is a comedy for Linux support. The driver already previously installed doesnt works with xorg 1.7.5, only 1.7.4. This post saved the day. Thanks! Higher resolutions now works again.

6. 6 eordano said at 12:00 am on February 8th, 2010: Im glad it helped you, Leonardo!

7. 7 Willian said at 8:00 am on March 3rd, 2010: Hey, thank you! I will try it! And later, how can i update this driver? See you.

8. 8 LavRUh said at 6:43 am on March 9th, 2010: Thank you! This driver perfectly works with my MOPS Linux.

9. 9 Daniel said at 4:59 pm on March 11th, 2010: Esteban, muy bueno la verdad. El problema es que sigo siempre con este problema: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27107413/DSC00298.JPG La pantalla se parte en dos o algo as. Con unos drivers binarios de Mandriva pude hacer andar en Ubuntu 9.10, pero nunca tengo exito compilando desde el cdigo fuente, siempre pasa lo de la imagen. No te parecera una buena idea armar un repositorio git? o un google code o algo as? digo para tratar de centralizar y unificar un poco los esfuerzos que se hacen, porque todo lo que se ven son parches que hace la gente en foros y eso, pero mucha confusin general. Si te gusta la idea, contas conmigo, te dejo el correo: daniel.uranga (en) gmail (punto) com Adicionalmente, si sabes de alguna solucin para mi problema contame tambin. Saludos

10. 10 Leonardo Vilar said at 6:12 pm on March 30th, 2010: checking for XORG yes checking for ANSI C header files (cached) yes checking for /usr/include/xorg/dri.h yes checking for /usr/include/xorg/sarea.h yes checking for /usr/include/xorg/dristruct.h yes checking whether to include DRI support yes checking for DRI configure: error: Package requirements (libdrm >= 2.0 xf86driproto) were not met: No package xf86driproto found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DRI_CFLAGS and DRI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. make: ** [config.status] Erro 1

11. 11 eordano said at 11:58 pm on March 30th, 2010: Leonardo, try: `sudo apt-get install xfree86-dev` or different -dev versions of tis. You are getting that message because you dont have all the X libraries.

I had no luck with your driver, followed the readme but may have installed it wrong. Using 9.04 and some solutions from the Ubuntu forums, I managed to change the resolution to 1280800, but this distorts the intended 1366 x 768 resolution. If you have any advice or suggestions I really appreciate it; should I install 10.04 before trying again? Thanks Alex

13. 13 eordano said at 10:11 am on April 1st, 2010: Alex: I think its best for you to wait for 10.04. Unfortunately, it comes with Xorg version 7.5; and so far, I only know of this version of the drivers (I got them from the ubuntuforums) that work with the card. Regarding the resolution; you should try searhcin in your xorg.conf and erase all other configurations except for 1366768. If you need more help, contact me via twitter @eordano

14. 14 Alex said at 10:50 am on April 1st, 2010: Thanks for the reply, Ive registered on twitter as thegreatmido. Still not working. Log report is too big for twitter: Link a pastebin

15. 15 eordano said at 11:20 am on April 1st, 2010: Ugh, that looks bad. Its Xorg version 7.6 =S They are deprecating a lot of functions lately, and these drivers dont work without the old functions. Im sorry, I cant help you any further; try editing the source and take away the functions or contact someone at Xorg for a special version with deprecated functions.

20. 20 Peitli Jzsef said at 7:55 pm on May 2nd, 2010: Hello! Many thanks for the driver. For me it was perfect for 32bit Lucid, but it didnt work for 64bit. I hope there is a solution somewhere for my system too. I copied here my xorg.0.log: Link to pastebin Many Thanks

21. 21 eordano said at 10:16 pm on May 2nd, 2010: For 64bits, Peitli, youre going to have to rebuild the driver. Check if you have the developer packages (I cant remember all their names) and try building it as I wrote on the post. You can tell what packages are you mising by looking into the build log and google the header file that you are missing, plus something like .deb.

First it blew up compiling because of some missing dependancy to do with Man pages. But I just hacked all the man page references from the makefile and removed the man directory (ugly but its past 1am here) and bingo, mythtv playing tv stream full screen

smoothly in 1024600 on a little targa monitor back mini pc Ill look at posting it back upstream to gentoo when I have time after the weekend.
