Video driver issues
- Vous devez vous identifier ou créer un compte pour écrire des commentaires
Hi there,
Just installing Trisquel mini on a very old laptop and having some "fun and games" with the graphcs driver.
The outout from LSPCI | grep VGA is;
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
On the Live DVD the desktop is loaded in 1024 x 768, however when I've rebooted after install I only get the option of 640 x 480.
I'm assuming the graphics drivers are not installed or running.
I have run gpupdate, upgrade and dist-upgrade installing all available updates but still only able to run in basic VGA mode.
There is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11
Please can someone help be resolve.
Thanks
I have run apt-get update, upgrade and dist-upgrade installing all available updates but still only able to run in basic VGA mode.

Maybe this post will help you out:

"Yes, it's not the best graphics card ever seen, but it can do 1024x768 in Lubuntu 14.04 all the same, if you force the machine to use the vesa driver.
Create a file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/use-vesa.conf with the following content:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
And that's all. Reboot, and you should have your resolution.

Glad it worked out. You might be able to compile the old sis driver which was available in older Ubuntu/Trisquel releases although you might not see an actual performance improvement.
You can find compilation instructions here:
