The SiS chipset was, unfortunately, really popular with manufacturers of relatively expensive micro PeeCees (EzGo, Jadetec, etc.), which were essentially notebook hardware crammed into a small desktop case. Here's a link with good pics: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/smallest,530-2.html and see also http://www.snotmonkey.com/work/ezgo/ for detailed specs. It's based on the P4, and I've got one of them. Case has the footprint of a "shuttle", but is about half the height. If I *could* switch video cards, I'd do it in a heartbeat because SiS video cards have given me nothing but grief through the years. In the "unsolved wontfix" ubuntu bug list for the driver, mention is made of the fact XAA support went bye-bye, and the attempted use of EXA causes looping segfaults on X server startup. Only current workaround is to disable acceleration. Truly a case of "bad breath is better than no breath". --Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
