SiS VGA Driver...
Hi all,
I have a SiS AGP card (GPU SiS300/SiS305 series). The vendors have provided the drivers for windows OSs. I visited their website; they don't have a driver for my model of AGP card for linux. Is there anyone here who has used my type of card and is able to find a driver for that?
Regards
Bharath

Close, mine (for my laptop) is;
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760/761 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter
And uses the (a snippet from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file);
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "sis"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "SiS 660/661FX/M661FX/M661MX/741/741GX/M741/760/M760"
Which is included in X11, all of your listed distributions should have no problems identifying and using the SIS video chipset. In orther words you do not need any 'downloaded drivers' to install.
