Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards

Hi Adnan,

The full path of xorg.conf is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
(You can find it yourself using `locate xorg.conf`.)

Good luck,
Stephan

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards

[Stephan202]

tpurch,

I have an Asus X58C laptop here
(http://www.asus.gr/product.aspx?P_ID=qk1g4fPzWuiz1QxB&content=specifications).
The specifications on the site claim that it has the SiS M672 chipset,
but lspci says:

  $ lspci | grep 67
  00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 671MX
  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 
PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)

I hope this is a close enough match for you. I got the screen to work
property under Intrepid (as I mentioned earlier in this thread) as well
as Jaunty (after reinstallation). I cannot tell you which of the .deb
files I downloaded and installed, but I recall that after installing one
of these files and a reboot things worked right away (without a .deb the
screen worked as well, albeit at a very low resolution).

I have attached the Xorg.0.log file as per your request. Good luck!
