Description of problem: a lot of noise on the screen mostly grouped to several vertical bands. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-sis-0.10.1-2.fc11.i586 How reproducible: set a high resolution (1024x768 or higher) Expected results: no noise Additional info: I've finely found working driver at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24820246/xorg-driver-sis671_0.9.tar.gz Commented out lines 3330-3333 in src/sis_driver.c to allow usage of sis662 This driver somewhat newer than a fedora's driver. It would be nice if fedora's sis driver worked out of box. Modified driver is attached.

The "xorg-driver-sis671-0.9.tar.gz" found and modified by Igor Mammedov compiled & worked fine on Fedora 11 but does not compile anymore on F12 sis.h:74:27: error: xf86Resources.h: No such file or directory It seems that the package xorg-x11-server-Xorg Version: 1.6.4 used in F11 have some differences with the version: 1.7.1 used in F12 regarding the file xf86Resources.h On F11 the file xf86Resources.h was supplied by these two packages : xorg-x11-server-devel-1.6.4-0.1.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-source-1.6.4-0.1.fc11.i586 On F12 the file xf86Resources.h is not part of these 3 packages : xorg-x11-server-devel-1.7.1-7.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-devel-1.7.1-7.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-server-source-1.7.1-7.fc12.noarch Other info : The standart RPM "xorg-x11-drv-sis-0.10.2-1.fc12.x86_64" does not work for Fedora 12 (display vertical noisy lines). I am using the stock F12 kernel 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 with D201GLY2 Mobo with the IGP [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter 01:00.0 0300: 1039:6330 (rev 04) Let me know if you need other info -- Christian

Got my hands on D201GLY again. FC14 system supplied driver doesn't work with it. Symptoms the same as in previous versions of sis driver (i.e. vertical stripes of noise on display). After some searching, I've found driver that works with it, after commenting out lines: 3360-3363. Download driver source and patches from: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34256&comments=all
Created attachment 484037 [details] Patched driver that works with sis662 on Xorg 1.9 Patched and commented specified above lines. So that it won't be lost and would be easily found here by suffering D201GLY owners.
Is there any chance that this could be backported to RHEL 6? I have a few D201GLY boards with SIS vga chipset's that I use. I've tried just about every recent distro Fedora 16, RHEL 6.2 Ubuntu 11.10(?), and debian. All of them seem to suffer from the same vertical noise on the screen. The vesa driver seems to clear the vertical noise, but does not allow me to spin up 1440x900 resolution (my monitor). I have not been able to get the attached patched driver to compile, I'm missing some dependencies somewhere, which I cannot figure out.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34256&comments=all Working driver for RHEL 6.2 To get all dependencies, try to compile sis driver from source.rpm for RHEL6.2 rpmbuild -ba xorg-x11-drv-sis.spec and system ask you install all rpm you need and give you a list of rpm.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
*** Bug 651615 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
