You could uninstall xf86-video-sis package so X falls back to fbdev or vesa driver. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It might be possible to chose the right framebuffer mode. Try this # hwinfo --framebuffer Use the appropriate mode hexnumber (16bit mode recommended) as vga boot parameter. Example: Mode 0x0317: 1024x768 (+2048), 16 bits --> vga=0x317 To be honest: It's unlikely this ever been fixed. Nobody is still working on the sis driver upstream, the SiS company is no longer active in this area, and the driver is no longer building against the latest Xserver. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Using gfxpayload did helped a lot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
