Is there a linux/opensuse 11.2 2D driver for SIS 771/671

English Hardware
1

Hi,

I am fairly new to linux in general and have just installed opensuse 11.2.

I have it installed on a Fujitsu Siemens v5535 Esprimo laptop. The onboard video/graphics appear to be very slow. On investigation i have found it is using a VESA driver. Is there a 2D driver for this graphics/video system for opensuse or linux?. Could anyone walk me through how to install driver if it exists?.

Hardware info shows device as 771/671 pcie vga display adapter

Thanks in advance if you can help at all

Cheers

Delmo

SIS offer very poor support
I don’t think you will get any better than you currently have.
