If Ubuntu developers don't have time to fix xserver-xorg-video-sis package, then this package should be removed from Ubuntu 12.10 and newer releases (including Ubuntu 12.04.3), because then users can use Ubuntu desktop at least - vesa driver works fine on SIS hardware, but xserver- xorg-video-sis doesn't work at all since Ubuntu 12.10 :(
Another case is automatically create /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with Option "NoAccel" "true" when SIS chipset is detected. Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Option "NoAccel" "true" EndSection -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-sis in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066464 Title: SiS driver crashes Xserver with EXA acceleration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/1066464/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
