I have recompile my kernel, activate sisfb but no good result
if anyone have same experience installing this device please help
thanks before
The DRI wiki also says it works: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/SiS
There is a HowTo for savage cards (installation of DRI snapshot) in the "Customization Tips & Tricks" forum which can be adapted to your SIS.
Instead of savage... file you need this most likely: http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/archive/sis-20050628-linux.i386.tar.bz2
Thank you, I have tried but I got an Error message

Below is my steps and my error
Thank you for your help
tar -xjf sis-20050628-linux.i386.tar.bz2

Makefile:163: *** Cannot find a kernel config file. Stop. So `linux-headers-2.6.12-...' are installed?
So `linux-headers-2.6.12-...' are installed?
in my above words,that list contain this one.. Kernel Version : 2.6.12-10-386
does this mean what you said???
in my above words,that list contain this one.. Kernel Version : 2.6.12-10-386 Ah, ok, I should read more carefully.
You can copy the config of the kernel from the /boot directory:
sudo cp /boot/config-2.6.12-10-386 /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-10/.config

sorry ,in my /usr/src folder ,there is only one subfolder named rpm. so ,i should "mkdir linux-header-2..6.12-10" right??? and then do the cp??
and just now , i upgrade my ubuntn from 5.04 to 5.10. i met a little problem. and i just wrote another "asking for help " file, which address is:http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=582696#post582696

Please look for this savage howto. It has all the stuff listed that are required to Build DRI drivers.
