Hi,

I am desperatly looking for people who are willing to help me testing
(and eventually developing) the kernel framebuffer and X driver for
these chipsets.

If you're interested, please drop me a note.

Thomas

Hi,

I have a SIS 315 connected to a TV using it in PAL mode.
The driver produces kernel oopses sometimes, especially when
doing mode and VT switches. Also the TV out is broken for
some resolutions. I can do more testing and give you more
details if you want.

I am willing to test new driver versions and am also thinking
about writing an accelerated driver for DirectFB.
