XOrg Drivers



    Drivers that I maintain for iMedia Linux. 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 one. A merge with freedesktop tree is planed in the future.


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.

Geode LX / GX XOrg driver


Driver for Geode LX found in ALIX boards and others with 2D acceleration and XV support. It was tested with iMedia Linux on PCEngines ALIX mini-itx mainboards.
To compile run ./autogen.sh , configure with your desired prefix and make install. Driver is derived from Xorg nsc driver with patches from internet and small fixes.
