[Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards

 

@mantas
so you just only make a .deb package from Antonie driver then. Well actually i try the sisimedia_drv.so and then here's some result that can be reviewed for future patch / release / discussion.

Pros :
- sisimedia_drv.so in have a high compatibility and can't see when need to repatch it. I already try it to install  it with Archlinux based With latest kernel 2.37 RC 2 and the driver is running well. So it's ready for kernel 2.x.37

- xorg.conf is need only an extra "usetimming" option for 1366x768
resolution and it's run on virtual 1368x768 detected by xrandr.

- Distribution tested & Compatible = Debian based, Archlinux based,
Chakra Linux < KDE Standalone, formerly known as KdeMod in Arch
community >

- Distribution tested & Incompatible = Redhat based & devirative,
OpenSuse

Cons :
maybe must see a technical review but i still can't see a cons here since it's have more compatibility with other distribution


I will put xorg.conf example for Antonion mod driver & sisimedia driver.

sisimedia_drv.so Link ---> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14096167/sisimedia_drv.so.tar.gz
( Sorry i don't have a tarball, but it's take from mandriva for sure )

well so stupid it redirect me from adding the attachment. So i will use
pastebin

xorg.conf ( Antonion / Tpurch Mod ) ----> http://pastebin.com/yHXvfUVW
xorg.conf ( sisimedia_drv.so ) ----->  http://pastebin.com/yV5k0XmY

I hope it's can help
