Hello,

I have the same problem with a SiS630 card on breezy. Refering to
http://www.winischhofer.at/linuxsisvga.shtml all binary and module are shiped
with ubuntu. The first problem is that the fb is not set to 1024x768x16 as i
wrote on the menu.lst : # nonaltoptions=quiet splash
video=sisfb:versa:792,mem:12288 . I don't know why. If i load sisfb from
/etc/modules, i got the correct screen resolution and /dev/fb0 correctly created.

I read /var/log/dmesg and all seems to be fine. The /dev/fb0 device is not
created. I read the Xorg.0.log and i see this interressant lines :

(EE) SIS(0): [dri]SISDRIScreenIni failed because of a version mismatch.
        [dri] libdri version is 4.1.0 but version 4.4.x is needed.
        [dri] Disabling DRI.

dpkg -S /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a give xorg.org which is at
version 6.8.2-23 (breezy).

I don't know how to have the correct version of libdri (is this a problem of
Xorg, Xfree86 backport on Xorg, ???)

Thanks.
