[I am not subscribed to debian-x, so please CC to me in reply] Hi, I don't know if this is the right place where to send report to, I hope so.
I have a laptop ASUS A1000 with VGA chipset SiS 630. The BIOS is the latest available from the vendor. 1. The first problem I found is that when xdm starts the screen resolution is not correct. It seems to me the it is something like 640x480 since (sometimes!) I can see a big (2cm?) X pointer on a white background. Every time I start xdm then I switch to vt1 and then vt7 again. This 'hack' works and then the resolution is correctly 1024x768. There is no evindence of this resolution change in /var/log/XFree.0.log. 2. The second problem I have is that once xdm starts then it is not possible to get back to the console since it is completely black. This seems a problem related to the sisfb driver, but I am not sure about it.
