This is a desktop Compaq presario that came with winXP originally. not a notebook/laptop.
It did install and run at full resolution on install.
I really didn’t have to to much other than stated to get it going. I still can’t
get the onboard audio to work on it. But that is a hardware, not an antiX one.issue as doesn’t work on antiX 17-19, or 21.
Each computer is different on getting up and running.

can you post the output of this as a txt attachment or a screenshot of the system?

Ydek, thanks for starting this thread. I am watching and hope that we can also use antiX 21 on computers that have a SIS or Via video card.
For now, all computers that have these video cards are benefiting from the pseudo-antiX-19-legacy-bet3_x64.iso ISO created by Xecure and I only use the pseudo-antiX-19-legacy-bet3_386.iso ISO when using the processor is 32 bits.

Further to those chipsets more and more I see and hear from users with NVidia legacy hardware having graphics
issues on open drivers with antix21.

Ideal situation for be a legacy graphics support spin, if feasible. My efforts for NVidia have up to now failed,
seems I miss some important detail..

Debian 11 only supports nvidia-legacy-390xx.
antiX-21 has legacy-340xx in its repo.
For older cards, users should stick to antiX-19.

Hi Marcelo.

I also have this hope, in Brazil we still have computers and notebooks with SiS and Via.
The Iso created by Xecure is already a great help.

Someone claims to have got it to work on Debian 11 by using a script.

Looking at the script. Our xorgs are just a little newer.xorg 120.11.

Wondering if just using lines 18 through 20 would suffice out of that script.

Reading further comments. Seems to work with just the 3 lines used.

The screenshots show n/a or none for the driver on it. and llvmpipe as the GL.

The vesa works ok on mine, I haven’t got any of the sis drivers to work yet.
the reason I asked for the inxi -Fxz was so we can see which motherboards and bios work on it.

Thanks for the tip of the link, i had already tried this script but it didn’t work for model Chipset SiS 661/741/760, it only works for model SiS 771/671.

It does run antiX-21-runit live iso at 1280×1024 resolution just fine on the vesa driver.
I deleted everything off of the boot line and hit enter.
I also had to use arandr to set the screen size.
The vesa driver actually goes up to 1600×1200 but my monitor don’t.
attached a screenshot of the hardware.

I tried it in live mode with antiX and deleted the parameters on the boot line but it didn’t work.

Hi ydek, thanks for posting this … that way others can compare hardware revisions and results.
It looks like it has the latest bios from a quick search. It’s using the vesa but not very well.
1. Was there any choices in arandr for resolution at all? to eliminate a monitor issue.
2. Is there bios settings for the video? I’m not familiar with the American Megatrends one.
3. can you attach these as a txt attachment to a post. I’ll upload mine later as well. This will tell
everyone what Xorg is seeing and loading or not loading.
