@ePierre:
X.org version 7.3 and earlier (that is, ones included in Ubuntu before
Intrepid) has somewhat explanatory xorg.conf files. However, the 7.4 version
implements some kind of autoconfiguration; that is, it guesses proper settings
without setting them in xorg.conf file. Of course, if You want, You can write
to that file what You want, but often it's not necessary. So default xorg.conf
file is close to empty in size. Here it is:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
I've just rebooted into Intrepid, just to check it in order to make sure
I'm not talking rubbish, but it rebooted OK. It seems that really adding
sisfb to /etc/modules is enough. You won't be able to test it with
LiveCD, though (unless You use persistency, see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence), as rebooting is
necessary for this to work.
I'll remain with Hardy, though - it works without any hacks. Besides, my
computer is now 3.5 years old, so I'll probably change it before 2011,
when Hardy's support will be ceased. If there's any problem and a need
to test sth, I'll try - I keep a separate Intrepid partition, just for
testing purposes.
