Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have this AGP chip in a clevo portable: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 |
| 6 |
PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I have my make.conf settins as such: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
VIDEO_CARDS="sis vesa" |
| 12 |
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The xorg.x11 files has these entries: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Section "Device" |
| 17 |
Identifier "silicongraphic" |
| 18 |
VendorName "Silicon Integrated Systems" |
| 19 |
Driver "sis" |
| 20 |
#VideoRam |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Section "Screen" |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Identifier "Laptopscreen" |
| 25 |
Device "silicongraphic" |
| 26 |
Monitor "flatscreen" |
| 27 |
DefaultDepth 24 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Subsection "Display" |
| 30 |
Depth 24 |
| 31 |
Modes "1024x768" |
| 32 |
ViewPort 0 0 |
| 33 |
EndSubsection |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I'm not sure 'sis' is a legitimate option? |
| 36 |
While googling I came across a document that suggested adding |
| 37 |
'vesa' to any VIDEO_CARD setting if doubt exist. Is this the |
| 38 |
correct setting for this video card? Where can I read up on |
| 39 |
the various cards, xorg-x11 setting options for various video |
| 40 |
cards and the corresponding settings in make.conf and else where? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I've some docs, such as the gentoo docs and xorg modular migration, |
| 43 |
but these docs seem trite or a little too skinny on details and |
| 44 |
lack a robust discussion of the options and other possible options. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
It seems to work, but, I'm not sure it's optimized for the best |
| 47 |
possbible use of this sis/vesa video chip? |
| 48 |

thoughts and comments are most welcome. |
