SiS Linux Driver - Part 2

Again, I uploaded the old sis vga drivers to the website where I mentioned in my previous post.

Please note, the driver sis-vga-ubuntu-7.10_2.4-0_i386.deb and sis-vga-satux1.4.run contain my old 3d driver.

SiS Linux Driver

I uploaded the sis linux 2d driver.
You can download it from here.

Before using the driver, please reduce your screen resolution to standard vesa mode ( maybe 1024x768 or 800x600). Then just copy sis_drv.* to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ ,and reboot the system.

If your os is newer than ubuntu 10.04, don't use any xorg.conf.
If you need to use xorg.conf, or your panel resolution is 1366x768 or 1360x768,
just add this to your xorg.conf.

Section "Device"
     Identifier "Configured Video Device"
     Driver "sis"

     Option "UseTiming1366" "yes"
EndSection

1366x768

If you use sis 2d linux driver with panel size 1366x768.
You MUST enable the option UseTiming1366 like bellow:

Section "Device"
     Identifier "Configured Video Device"
     Driver "sis"
     Option "UseTiming1366" "yes"
EndSection

Also disable video overlay (in order to take a screenshot) to play video and running glxgears at the same time.

Release SiS671/672 Windows 7 Driver

三個人搞了四個月
終於全部完成了
應該可以很快拿到 Windows7 WHQL 認證吧
可以好好休息幾天了

話說回來 SiS 是有點誇張
才叫三個人去開發 Win 7 driver
搞不懂
就那麼信任我?
如果單純是 3D Driver 我就有把握
不管 DirectX 或是 OpenGL
但是整個 VGA Driver 都交給三個人做
嘖嘖....

如果 SiS 把我當成特種部隊
那應該要發特種部隊的薪水
而不是給二等兵的薪水
更何況我們是 SiS 最好的 RD Team
