Hi there

I have kernel : cat /proc/version
| Quote: | Linux version 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 (root@localhost) (gcc version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7. ) #12 Tue Dec 6 09:35:53 WET 2005 |
This is for the video card sis:
the complete command was: VIDEO_CARDS="sis" emerge x11-drm
Does any one had compiled the x11-drm for this chipset ? (i bealive so)
Is this some sort of bug ? or i'm i doing something wrong ? apreciate the help |

I got 3d acceleration working for the sis chip on a friends computer a couple of years ago. but I used the sis module that came with the kernel. I enabled "SiS chipset support" for agp and "SiS video cards" (under DRM) as module. I never even tried the x11-drm package. the x11-drm should have a more up-to-date module but this should give you some hope.

Thanks josh. That was my solution i've selected tha kernel built-in. But the stange thing appens if i start with DRI when testing with glxgears i get more FPS but i get a black screen, dono.
The x11-drm version doesn't compile from the source it seems it doesn't reconigzes the linux version and fail to include <video/sisfb.h> , passing the linux version when emerging does the trick (i think, at least it compiled). Never the less the modules get some erros loading, so i stick with the kernel version. |

Notice this part of the error output:
| Code: | * 2.4 kernels are supported, but only 2.6 kernels at least as new as 2.6.6
* are supported. |
Since you're using the Gentoo linux kernel 2.6.12, you need to use the DRM in the kernel. Remember to compile it as a module. |
