It only depends on the SiS driver for access to non-VESA modes native to virtually all displays made in the past decade: # lspci | grep VGA 0a:03.0 VGA compatible controller: XGI Technology Inc. (eXtreme Graphics Innovation) Z7/Z9 (XG20 core) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) It's on a 64-bit server motherboard: http://b2b.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2350 Thus, it wouldn't have been a big seller, like those server motherboards with prior century Matrox gfxchips sold around a decade ago and with its users complaining in the not too distant past about mga driver foibles. Couple that with the fact that pre-release bug reporters and pre-release testers are a tiny fraction of total user population, and nobody would expect to hear much from users of this particular gfxchip. That's something I can do, give people a chance to find out about bugs before it's too late for them to get fixed (hopefully before an upcoming GA), so they don't blindly upgrade into an unacceptable condition. Whether it would ever get fixed is a whole different matter. *I* don't need it to work, because it's nothing but a test machine. Some among the multitude of others might not be so lucky. I would like to have reported this upstream, but wasn't able to reproduce on this machine for lack of the sis driver in other installed distros, which apparently force many users needing to stay secure into either using distorted non-native display modes, changing their hardware, or changing to a more complete distro. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
