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

 

I am using 
MOTHERBOARD
	Host bridge
		Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661FX/M661FX/M661MX Host (rev 11)
		Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 8113
	PCI bridge(s)
		Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS AGP Port (virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge)

I can get only 960 X 600, (I use Packard Bell monitor, work with much higher resolution in XP).
at maximum.

And that gave me problems with many program will not display full page,
it was crop off. and cannot access the apply or submit buttom, since it
is out side the screen.

I did accidentally got it work at 1280 X 720 some things in these range twice,
The first time after I install Fedora 12 and I found it can do the high resolution, so I switch to Ubuntu 10.04, and I did not work for lucid, so I reboot back to Fedora to confirm it worked. 
Then reboot again to Lucid, 
Yes it worked. So I try to set a better resolution, and reboot.
After that I cannot get it work on high resolution above 960 X 600 again, neither for Fedora 12,
and it always show error message, something along these > Xorg cannot load configuration < not exact.

And a few days after that it pop again with high resolution, but after
reboot, never show up again.

I reinstall Lucid release, to replace the RC-Lucid on 30/4/2010, hope the upstream will fix the problems,
but I faced the same problems.

I googled and search for many hours finally try
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   , from one of the post, 

nothing happen, then I try the following

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423381

and a few things from other posts.

None work.

So I report them here for help not for me but for all of us who has "SIS and Ubuntu"
Since I want more people to use ubuntu and lots of them using SIS, I want to make sure they are happy so more people will port to ubuntu.

Thank you in Advance to all the GURUs
