XFree86: Versions since 3.3.3
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.
There are several different steppings of this chipset.Some of them need special options, e.g. in order to switch off graphics acceleration.
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.
