Laptop with integrated SIS gfx and ATI module fails to detect the active card

[Flávio Martins]

Daily install of dapper configures Xorg to use the sis driver when the active card is an ATI.

oh, X doesn't start until the Driver line in xorg.conf is fixed by hand of course. dpkg-reconfigure still detects sis as the laptop's gfx provider.

Hi! Thanks for the bug. =)

Can you follow the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingXAutoconfiguration for Ubuntu >= 5.04 and providing us the output (/var/log/Xorg.0.log , /etc/X11/xorg.conf , etc)?

Thanks,

Zakame

Please attach the requested files (Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf) for this bug report if it still persists on the latest Beta release to move on. Thanks

Ohoh, my laptop is like a mouse lab :P Flavio rullez in Ubuntu.

This is from a fresh Ubuntu Dapper Beta install.
Using xresprobe on the sis driver returns an blank fields, maybe that info can be used to determine the sis device doesn't have anything attached.
