After my HP laptop died i got an old laptop from my sister. Its an packard bell easynote.
Linux 3.0 32 bits installed fine and works. Only problem i have is the screen resolution. I only have the option of 640x480.
Edit:
Found this post:https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/video-cards/sis-graphic-card-support-(771671-pcie-vga)/
I used the answer Misko gave and now have the resolution set to 1280x768
Now only need to find out what the max screenresolution is that the card can handle

Now only need to find out what the max screenresolution is that the card can handle
If the internet does show the specs try this as a local terminal user and post the results pls
http://www.cnet.com/products/packard-bell-easy-note-tj61-rb-002-15-6-athlon-x2-ql-64-3-gb-ram-250-gb-hdd/specs/
1366 x 768
I will show mine without a code box and hope I don't mislead anyone in thinking they are your stats OK
inxi -Gxx
my hits include this line
Resolution: [email protected], [email protected]
and my understanding of that line is I have the resolution set to the what the max specs are.
-
Found the modelnumber, its a packard bell EasyNote_MX37-V-022 If i search for specs i find that the resolution for it is 1280x800
inxi -Gxx
That gives me:
Graphics: Card: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter
bus-ID: 01:00.0 chip-ID: 1039:6351
Display Server: X.Org 1.18.3 driver: vesa
Resolution: [email protected]
GLX Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.8, 128 bits)
GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 11.2.0 Direct Rendering: Yes
Not sure how to set it too 1280x800 or that it just can be left at 1280x768
Only thing i notice is that the screen goes crazy when i shut the laptop down or restart it, for the rest its ok
-
Hi OK I did not search for that V022 bit so believe you.
Now can you explain why you elected to use Vesa in your xorg....so assume you manually editted to force vesa from reading that other link?
2) I don't use Gallium myself but lets confirm you still have the sis driver available pls try this as local user
dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video
You should have a hit for the vesa and hopefully one ending is sis.
Now leaping ahead if you have the *-sis package, hopefully you will have the sis driver already loaded altho IMHO its not used in your xorg
Check it like this pls
lsmod | grep sis
####and
lspci -vvv
see below ####
As I am not a sis expert here is my links but don't try Arch stuff as we are different pls
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SiS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium3D
https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/sis
^^ last link is only for 671 or 771 cards.
what I plan on suggesting is you manually changing your xorg after making a backup to change from
vesa to sis or someother sis like module
### this is the below
the kernel module loaded may not reflect what is available so I am guessing here OK
lspci -vvv .....copy and paste just your VGA stuff I will show mine to give you a clue
....00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
cull the junk
Kernel modules: i915......Yours will be either vesa or a sis type result

Thanks for your time and help aus9

Tried the solution in https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/sis but didnt work, only had default option after rebooting and think that was 600x400. So restored the backuped file and rebooted. Now i have all back as it was before.
-
Did some more searching and found this site. http://axebase.net/blog/2014/08/23/sis-671-in-lubuntu-14-04xorg-1-15/
I used the option for lubuntu 16.04 and it worked. Now got 1280x800 as one of the options, was selected as default after reboot.
-
glad you are in different time zone and seemed to have it sorted already.
If you agree just mark your post as solved. And to help others can you post the entire contents of your xorg.conf in a code box in case its long so it can be scrolled?
I am guessing you have this entry?

thankyou and I hope your solution helps others.
I forgot to ask, and its low priority as you already have shown links and configs but if you have time can you now show the new result for
inxi -Gxx
thanks ....I suspect inxi won't detect 671 so is likely to still show 2 chipsets but your driver should show up different.

OOPS thats not a good sign from inxi I am now sorry I asked as I was expecting a driver result etc.
:-[
the main thing is you still solved it so thanks for your patience and feedback
-
The screen resolution is ok, but scrolling websites isnt that good, its stuttering like mad.
but it has to do for now, no idea how to get that fixed and a new or second hand laptop is an illusion for the next year.
Laptop has only 2gb memory, i tried the 4gb of old laptop..same memory but bios only sees 2gb

hmmm. Lets go back a step?
can you link to the page you found your video card specifications please?
Can you show your full output to the lsmod command and just your VGA section for the lspci -vvv as well please?
lsmod
lspci -vvv
[/lsmod]

Hi
The lspci -vvv is not showing what kernel module you are using....did you forget to show it?
Leaping ahead...your xorg is using sismedia but I don't see that in your lsmod output. I am still not a sis expert but maybe you can try each in turn of the sis ones to see if they fix your stutter etc
lsmod | grep sis*
the other page that gave you originally the sismedia as the string to choose....
https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/sis
did you actually move the module into the driver folder ?
I will show mine and then make some comments
ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
# aus9 results
fbdev_drv.so intel_drv.so modesetting_drv.so vesa_drv.so
so it appears I won't be able to use sismedia as no driver is there. Got it?

Not sure what happened there with lspci outcome. But here it is again.

I installed LL2.8 64 bits and I used the answer Misko gave and now have the resolution set to 1280x768 in this topic
