[arch-general] Xorg video driver for de sis 771/671
Hi, lspci | grep -i vga 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) but I couldn't an xorg driver that's support my video card. I try this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SiS but with no luck. Anyone else using this video card? Many thanks in advance.

The most I could find was this [1-2]. You may have to build the driver from git but it might not work given that the last commit was from last year. I seem to recall reading something about some drivers not being supported or not supporting something since a few xorg releases, but I can't remember (or find) where I read that.

Many thanks. Maybe I'll give it a try, although I'm not very much inclined to the build driver solution. Just in case you know, I was using the vesa driver but start not working properly (some issue with the rendenring) so I'm right now using the fbdev driver, but with the switch (from vesa to fbdev) the DPMS stops working, any ideas?

The xorg-driver you need is xf86-video-sisimedia, but it has not maintained for a long time, and has been dropped to AUR.[1] [1] https://www.archlinux.org/news/xorg-server-1171-is-now-available/

Have you tried using Xorg's modesetting driver? Just remove all other drivers and Xorg will rely on it. It may be a possible alternative for you. See "man modesetting".

Have you checked with xset if dpms is enabled or if you can enable it if it is not enabled? Other than that I have no more ideas. It is the weekend now so give it a couple of days and maybe someone else will chime in with more ideas. Given that your your graphics card is not very popular now I'd say the best you can get is ideas to test and general guidance. -- Mauro Santos

The modesetting driver complains about: [ 901.176] (II) modesetting: Driver for Modesetting Kernel Drivers: kms [ 901.176] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory Any ideas?

Yes xset q gives [...] DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 600 Suspend: 600 Off: 600 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On I found out that if I disable the console framebuffer from the parameter of grub.cfg # Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep then the DPMS in xorg start working (but is very annoying because I use the console and with something like 80x25 it's become very nasty).

The modesetting driver will not work as it needs a DRM(*) driver in the kernel, which your card doesn't have I believe. (*) Direct Rendering Manager -- Mauro Santos

You could comment that option and later try to use fbset to set the resolution of the console. With some luck dpms will continue working. -- Mauro Santos
