Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, I have this chipset in my new notebook (Gericom Webboy). Everything works fine, but only modem doesn't work because it's software modem. I tried to search net for drivers, tried to write to SiS (no aswer for two weeks ;(), etc. -> no success. But, if you have this chipset in notebook you should have problems with LCD display with SiS chipset. I have tried XServer from SiS, XFree 3.3.x and XFree 4.x and no success. Every try I see blank noisy display ;( Everything work, but only display is not properly set. So, I tried kernel frame buffer support and it partly works - SiS kernel frame buffer support doesn't work too, kernel VESA frame buffer support works fine. Next thing is, that if you want for instance 1024x768 resolution in X, you must set up vesa frame buffer to 1024x768 resolution too ;( So, if you have notebook with this chipset and want X support, you must set kernel VESA frame buffer support (not SiS support!) and set the same resolution for frame buffer and for X. When you see blank noisy display everything works fine, X started, applications too but they are invisible due to bad display setting. 00:01.1 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 10/100 Ethernet (rev 80) Network device support ---> Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) ---> < > SiS 900/7016 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support 00:01.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 (rev 07) 00:01.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 (rev 07) USB support ---> (works fine) 00:01.4 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 7018 (rev 01) Sound ---> < > Trident 4DWave DX/NX, SiS 7018 or ALi 5451 PCI Audio Core 00:03.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.: Unknown device 6872 (rev 05) General setup ---> PCMCIA/CardBus support ---> < > PCMCIA/CardBus support [ ] CardBus support [ ] i82365 compatible bridge support R.obot.V -- _ |-| __ Robert Vojta -= Oo.oO =- |=| [Ll] IPEX, s.r.o.
