sis671 debs to try

[Forum Admin anticapitalista]

I found some debs that are supposed to work with xorg 1.20 (ie antiX-19 and latest bullseye alpha1).

Could anyone needing this driver please test.

You only need to install one sis671 deb for your architecture

In case if they are wondering 32 bit or not. i386 deb is 32 bit for novices. all deb should be ok for 32 bit also.

so far not on my pc so far.
I’ve tried several drivers with no luck.
the vesa is working ok on bullseye on it though.
here is a screenshot of the hard ware for others to
compare it to. and an output of the xorg log
from the sis671 driver above.

I forgot to mention that you will also need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something like this.

Section "ServerLayout" 
  Identifier "Xorg Configured" 
  Screen "Monitor" 
EndSection

Section "Files" 
  FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts" 
  FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc" 
  FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/droid" 
EndSection

Section "Module" 
  Load "GLcore"
  Load "ddc"
  Load "int10"
  Load "vbe"
  Load "i2c" 
EndSection

Section "Monitor" 
  Identifier "Sis671VGA" 
  Vendorname "Sis671LCD" 
  Modelname "LCD Panel 1366x768" 
  Horizsync 31.5-50.0
  Vertrefresh 56.0 - 65.0
EndSection

Section "Device" 
  Identifier "Device1" 
  Boardname "SiS M671 [sis671]" 
  Screen 0
  Driver "sis671"

  Option "UseTiming1366" "on"
  Option "TurboQueue" "on"
  Option "FastVram" "on"
  Option "UseFBDev" "true"
  Option "EnableSisCtl" "yes"
  Option "XvDefaultDisableGfxLR" "no"
  Option "XvOnCRT2" "yes"
EndSection

Section "Screen" 
  Identifier "Monitor" 
  Device "screen0" 
  Monitor "Configured Monitor" 
  DefaultDepth 24
  Subsection "Display" 
    Viewport 0 0
    Depth 24
    Modes "1366x768@60" 
  EndSubsection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
  Mode 0666
EndSection 

Section "Extensions" 
  Option "Composite" "off" 
EndSection

or a simpler one:

Section "Device"
    Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
    Driver          "sis671"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
    Identifier      "Default Screen"
    Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
    Device          "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

If installed on a live USB with persistence, it may be easier to use the boot parameter
xorg=sis671
and see if it boots with sis drivers

If this post is wrong, please remove mu comment.

[Member linuxdaddy]

thanks anti and xecure.

I did have the drivers “sis671” line in xorg.conf
this is a sis760lv chip as the main north bridge chip on
the mobo. I get the same error on sisimedia driver too.
