In my lilo.conf, under the section of my kernel, it says ------ append="video=sisfb:mode:1024x768x16,mem:12288" ------
You mean DRI ;-) It's not used for DVD playback, but for 3D-effects, it provides OpenGL hardware support. You can check out, if it's really working with TuxRacer and glxgears, or you ask glxinfo.I've got X with DFI and the whole 'shebang' working and playing DVDs - so
Well, at me it works. And the kernel parameter in lilo.conf is the only place, where you can configure sisfb's graphics mode of your console.I know the sisfb is definately working, but it doesn't yield high-resolution console.
If you didn't make a fault at replacing the standard drivers in the kernel source or at the kernel configuration, it should work for you, too.
Aaaaah! Now I understand! No, it doesn't work with the standard sisfb driver. You really have to use the one from www.winischhofer.net. There is also a driver for XFree, that you should use, if you want to have DRI (-->OpenGL), 'cause the standard driver does definetly NOT support it.-Martin N. note: I haven't gotten winischhofer.net's sisfb patch to the kernel to compile correctly, so I'm still using the builtin kernel sisfb/etc. - but my understanding is that still wants it in this form.
Bye.
