XOrg Drivers



    Drivers that I worked on for iMedia Linux. I no longer maintain these. The most up-to-date patch set is available here: Mandriva repository.

SIS 671 (Intel D201GLY) and Geode LX/GX XOrg video drivers with XVideo acceleration and fixed high resolution issues. These drivers are different from freedesktop Xorg tree or the OLPC Geode driver.


SIS 671 XOrg driver


Driver for SIS 671 found in Intel D201GLY, it fixes high resolution problems, adds 2D hardware acceleration and XV/XVMC support. It requires a kernel patch to add SIS 671 PCI ids (0x0671) and a new entry on sis-agp.c to detect the chipset. This driver only works and compiles on Xorg >= 7.0 versions and has been tested with iMedia Linux on Intel D201GLY mini-itx mainboard.
To compile run ./autogen.sh , configure with your desired prefix and make install.
Thanks to Chaoyu Chen from SIS for his patches and support
