Sis 671 linux driver

Устанавливаем видеодрайвер для видеокарт семейства SIS M671/M672 под Ubuntu 11.04

От переводчика, т.е. меня:
Я потратил достаточно много времени на то, чтобы заставить корректно работать видеокарту на моем ASUS K50C. Все решения, которые находились поисковиками, были расчитаны на релиз X-Server’а более ранний (1.8), чем тот, что в Natty Narwhal (1.10). В конце концов я нашел запись на одном из забугорных блогов. И это решение сработало!
Надеюсь мой перевод кому-нибудь поможет потратить время на что-то более полезное.

Итак: как поставить видеодрайвер для видеокарт семейства SIS M671/M672 под Ubuntu 11.04

Как вы знаете, новый релиз X-Server вышел всего пару дней назад, и он уже включен в состав Ubuntu 11.04.
Так вот: этот драйвер будет корректно работать на Ubuntu 11.04, проверено!

Установка несколько отличается от ранних вариантов. Старый драйвер надо было просто скопировать в папку /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ и настроить xorg.conf, а сейчас вы должны собрать его и настроить самостоятельно. Хотя есть и положительный момент: с xorg.conf не придется возиться заново.
Я полагаю, что вы уже знаете как собирать и устанавливать и имеете для этого все необходимое.

Вот список того, что понадобится:
— git
— xorg-dev
— mesa-common-dev
— libdrm-dev
— libtool

Я забыл имена остальных пакетов, просто напомните мне их и я добавлю остальные -dev пакеты.

Исходники (драйвера, прим.перев.) уже пропатчены мной и вам не требуется их патчить. Папка с патчем доступна всем кто хочет помочь в поддержке актуальности драйвера в будущем.

Ну, давайте откроем терминал и начнем сборку:

$ git clone git://github.com/hellnest/xf86-video-sismedia-0.9.1.git
$ cd xf86-video-sismedia-0.9.1
$ ./configure —prefix=/usr —disable-static
$ make
$ sudo make install

Перезагрузка и готово!

Небольшой комментарий для пользователей с разрешением 1366х768:
Вам потребуется добавить в xorg.conf эти строки (конечно, если их там еще нет):

Section «Device»
Identifier «Configured Video Device»
Option «UseTiming1366» «yes»
EndSection

Section «Monitor»
Identifier «Configured Monitor»
EndSection

Section «Screen»
Identifier «Default Screen»
Monitor «Configured Monitor»
Device «Configured Video Device»
EndSection

Ок, на этом всё. Я надеюсь, что вам понравится этот релиз (драйвера, прим.перев.).
Еще раз спасибо Paulo Zaunoni за этот патч. Я действительно многим вам обязан.

upd: Спасибо всем, кто в q&a на мой вопрос о карме отозвался помощью 🙂

upd2: Решение под X-Server 1.8 (Ubuntu 10.10 и ранее)

upd3: Благодаря хабражителю GamePad64 организован PPA на данный драйвер, а значит установка стала еще проще!

Open up a terminal and go to the path you’ve unzipped them in.(use the cd command to navigate to directory’s) f.e; cd /home/user/Downloads

sudo cp sis671_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

type in your password and press enter

then stop X server

We need to stop X or we won’t be able to auto-generate a xorg.conf.new

you’ll have to do next part blindly

Switch to tty1 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+f1

(f2 for tty2, f3 for tty3, etc.. (f7 should be X)

Even though you won’t be able to read it (yet) you can login

type in your username and press enter

type in your password and press enter

Now you’re logged in you want to become root; type;

type in your password

Now your root; type in

(this will create a xorg.conf.new in your home directory)

and start gdm again with

Once there; Open up a terminal again;

move the auto-generated xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and restart gdm by typing;

Fix the plymouth and the unreadable tty problem like this

Open up a terminal and type

enter your password

echo blacklist vga16fb > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-vga16fb.conf

and reboot your system

If after doing this your screen resolution is a mess yet, then you should do this:

# sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

And check in the device section if you have configured the correct driver:

If you don’t, then change it. It’s a detail, just then it worked for me.

thanks pablo. it’s worked for my sis 771/671 too. thanks for that great idea 😀

YOUR A LIFE SAVER!
thank you so much – for a new ubuntu user this was a pain in the a*se. Thank you very much 😀

hello, I have set my vga card “[SiS] 771/671 PCIE” but does not support 3D, any comments, to solve this problem?

@Johnny – Forget about 3D support on linux, for SiS graphics cards.
SiS is very tied up with M$FT, in such a way, that they don’t release the source code, for their cards.
The 2D support we have today, is in all parts, due to the developers community and, some SiS employees that now and then give some help.

This was one of the main reasons, that i stopped buying anything with this chipset (graphics wise!).

That is very success…

Thank you very much ………..

Thank to your sharing,I followed
and
I get my thing working with ubuntu 10.04,Thank you so much?

After I stop gdm, I just got flickering screen. Even after blindly input my password. What should I do?

Please help.
Thanks.

Excellent post! Worked first time.

hika – the flickering screen is normal. Just make sure you follow the instructions carefully and you don’t have caps-lock on etc.

This is the ONLY solution on the net which works for 10.10 and this graphics driver! Thank you very much! You have earned yourself a regular reader!

I’ve followed the steps described in the article and the first comment, by Pablo Ignacio, however the machine boots to tty1. When I press Ctrl+Alt+F7 it’s stuck during boot at
* Setting sensors limits

Does this solution work for ubuntu 10.10?

There are plenty of bug reports on Launchpad (1) regarding this driver. I’ve yet to make it work on 10.10, but will try this guide later: http://hellbunker.blogspot.com/2010/11/sis-m671-on-linux.html

the hellbunker solution work very well to me, and it’s much simpler!

It will work in other distribution that using similiar kernel and latest x-server.

For the older kernel i will upload it later, i still got some problem with my connection here.

That worked for me! (Turbo x laptop)
Thank you for this solution!
Cheers!

THANX best Tutorial on this issue .. i wonder why its not patched in 10.04

when i do the:
service gdm restart
after moving the xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

i have a notification that UBUNTU IS RUNNING IN LOW-GRAPHICS MODE

Hi, great guide! My auto-generation of /etc/X11/xorg.conf wouldn’t work, so I had to create one from scratch. It should read:

Section “Device”
Identifier “Device0”
Driver “sis671”
EndSection

Hope it helps someone…

Thanx a lot, I got my thing working and all praise to your work.

Thanx once again.

I followed all your instructions, but when I arrived to the point:

“and restart gdm by typing; sudo service gdm restart”

my monitor becomes black and says something like “Frequencies not supported”

Then I type: Crtl+Alt+F1 and I try to continue with the other instructions, but when I reboot my screen stays black with the message “Frequencies not supported”….

I have re-installed Ubuntu 10:04 and followed the instructions with the same results

I have a [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA card integrated in an Asus P5SD2-VM Motherboard.

Any idea? Thanks

I tried for one day with these instructions and other. Following link solved the problem –

Just add his PPA and install this driver, reboot, and you’re done.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:acasagrande/xf86-video-sismedia
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-sismedia

How cool is that?

I’ve done it and it just works (at least on Linux Mint 12), no need to sudo-edit anything. Oh please, stop asking for 3D support. there’s not such a thing for SiS 671 / 771 in the Linux cosmos.

You should keep in touch with that thread, my suggestion.

Try add «nomodeset» in boot option

Hold Shift after boot, press «e» to edit boot option , add line :
nomodeset
before line «quite splash»

There is no kernel mode-setting driver for Sis hardware. nomodeset does not make sense here.

A driver should also be present by default, you can use this in your xorg.conf to use it:

However this does not support the latest chips, often leaves you with a black screen and only some old chips have limited 3d (but that’s removed in mesa 8 / mint 13).
For 671/771 you could install a driver on Mint 9 (some how-to’s are on the forum) but not on later versions. That driver was actually working very well.

Usually sis on linux is just crap.
