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

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.Normal == 🙂

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 driversIf this post is wrong, please remove mu comment.

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.Normal == 🙂
