Double post, sorry.

In console mode execute sis_vga_drv_161208-Ubuntu810.run
$ sudo ./sis_vga_drv_161208-Ubuntu810.run

When I do this, I get

#sudo: ./sis_vga_drv_161208-Ubuntu810.run: command not found

Will anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

you need to do sudo chmod +x ./sis_vga_drv_161208-Ubuntu810.run
and then sudo ./sis_vga_drv_161208-Ubuntu810.run

Thats how i did it.

Hello,

I have Ubuntu 8.10 64 Bit. The driver seems only to work with the 32- Bit- Version.

Is there a 64- Bit Version available?

Thanks Uli

I managed to get the driver working with 2D acceleration (with Xaa, x86 arch) in Jaunty. If anyone has Jaunty installed and wants to test the driver send me a line.

I plan to get the driver operational with 2d accel in x86 and amd64 by the Jaunty beta release.

Thanks for your hard work bgerlich! It's very much appreciated.

Now if only SiS would abandon their ridiculous policy of not releasing the 3D driver....

They have said they would only release the driver to hardware manufacturers but as far as I know nobody has had any luck whatsoever getting them from the manufacturer. I really don't know what their game is.

Anyway - thanks again for your hard work. I look forward to trying out your driver with the Jaunty beta.

For anyone else having trouble with the SiS video - there's a good site here with some good information. http://ncc-1701a.homelinux.net/~linux-sis/
