Graphic cards with SiS chipset 6326 don't work

Applies to

XFree86: Versions since 3.3.3

Symptom:

A graphics cards with the SiS chipset 6326 doesn't work as expected. There are display artefacts, the server doesn't start at all or even crashes the system.

Cause:

There are several different steppings of this chipset.Some of them need special options, e.g. in order to switch off graphics acceleration.

Solution:

Edit the file /etc/XF86Config and enter the line

Option "no_accel"
in the section Sections "Device". If this is not enough, please also try the lines
Option "no_linear"
Option "no_accel"
Option "sw_cursor"
in addition. The consequence is, that you can only run the server with a color depth of 8 bit and without any acceleration.
