i have the sis630 graphics chip in my laptop and i finaly got x working with the sisfb module from http://www.webit.at/~twinny/linuxsis630.shtml wich would be great but when i run x all the graphics look like they have been dithered even though its in 24 bit color.
so what i was wondering is if someone could help me through recompiling the xfree drivers from that site with gentoo. i looked but i couldnt find the sources on my machine. or if someone can help me with the color problem that would be good too.

thanks

well after reading some more i found there was a binary version of the x driver on this site: http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml
once i installed this this fixed my problems. i think tv out should be possible with this driver but i havnt tried it.
