[Bug 530554] [NEW] video=sisfb on menu.list / grub.cfg no longer works Ubuntu Lucid

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-sis

Acer Aspire 3004 WLMI
VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter

Persistent colour depth problem on all Debian based distros used to be
solved by adding "video=sisfb" as kernel argument on menu.list and later
grub.cfg.

This no longer works which probably means that the sis framebuffer isn't
auto loading.
