sis mirage 3 graphics driver for linuxmint *update*
Post by the_punisher » Tue Aug 26, 2008 2:48 am
I have a Fujitsu Siemens notebook that comes with the sis mirage 3 graphics chip.
the chip is not supported by mint, and i only get a resolution of 800 by 600. I have found out that sis have developed the 2d drivers for linux, but where and how do i install it.
also why is there no search function in this forum?

Well a driver for all SIS cards (and 2D I suspect) is installed by default
It may not be enabled
Check /etc/X11/xorg.conf
There is only one Section «Device»
What does Driver say?
If it’s «vesa» that’s the explanation — it should be «sis» (I believe)
After you’ve changed restart X — Ctrl+Alt+backspace
Of course there is a search function in the forum — upper right corner — it has it’s problems it won’t let you search for words it thinks are common.
So if that does not work go to the start page and search Linux Mint

yes i know that the driver is already vesa, but the max resolution i get is 800 by 600, it should be 1280 by 786.

The Ubuntu support for these chips is virtually non-existent. VESA gets you started but doesn’t give you much in the way of functionality.
Here is a link which I used to resolve issues with my SiS graphics.
BTW — when setting up your screen resolution don;t forget to check the «Widescreen Monitor» option. It gives you a whole load of extra resolutions.

thx for the reply gerbil, but i have already been there and tried that but since im a noob at linux i may have messed up someplace.
i downloaded the driver and did as they said, copied it to the folder, and edited the said file but nothing happened.
k im gonna try again now, its a pain cause every time i gotta restart my system to leave xp and then start mint.
also where is the widescreen monitor option? is it in the control panel?

Ouch. A S3 video chipset. I once had a laptop with a S3 video chipset. You had to beg S3 employy Barros Lee to get a (binary) driver, which I never got .
That was the last time I bought a laptop with a non-open video chip driver.
