$73 AMD64 MB with SiS760 integrated graphics : compatibility ?
Hi tuxes :D
What do you think about getting a $73 AMD 64 socket 754 motherblard with LAN, Audio, Usb, Firewire AND Graphics integrated ? Interested ? Here they are : - AOpen s760GXm-S - ASRock K8Upgrade 760GX - ECS/Elitegroup 760GX-M - Foxconn Winfast 760GXK8MB-ERS Those Athlon-64 low cost / high performances motherboards w/ SiS 760GX Built-in Graphic offer great performances for those of us who are interested by compilation/video/audio/2D great performances, rather than 3D/DirectX15 games-of-the-day :D We can have a look @ those motherboards features and performances with (PCPerspective) and without (tomshardware) GPU. - http://www.tomshardware.com/motherbo...415/index.html - http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid...e=expert&pid=1 Does someone know wether the onboard Mirage 2 graphic controller is Linux compatible ? Here some related informations : - Thomas Winischhofer - X.org/XFree86/Linux and SiS graphics chipset - An interesting LQ thread where they write opposite stuffs like "Only VESA drivers can make this video chip work" // "The driver should work but no 3d" I'd like some more information about these chipsets on Linux :study: |
If Winischhofer says to stay away from it I'd do just that.

But it doesn't say explicitly which feature are limited in single head operation. Do you make it clearer than I do ? Quote:

The 'even in single-head operation....' part and what comes after that seems like trouble.
I think he is refering to problems with a single monitor after that but it's not entirely clear. Especially the trouble with the xv extension is no good if looking for good video performance. Other than throwing in a cheap nvidia card the picture does look rather ugly for onboard solutions with good Linux support. |
crashmeister > Yeap :)
Thank you you made it clearer (and i won't go for one of those SiS 760 chips !) |
