Hardware :: SiS 771/671display Ubuntu 10.04 Does Not Load Driver
Oct 4, 2010
I am having a problem with this diabolical piece of kit on a laptop with Ubuntu 10.04. It never did work very well (max 800x600) was as good as it got.
It is now not working at all except in safe mode.
Th drivers appear to be there but not loaded.
So I downloaded a driver and tried to install it (sorry about the Portuguese but it is fairly easy to work out that it is a conflict with xserver-xorg-video-5):
There appear to be proprietary drivers written by a SiS employee but they are not distributed except to manufacturers[url]
Where do I go from here? I really would like better than 800X600, 3D would be a very nice bonus.

This is my first attempt with Yum and Fedora for that matter. I need to load a print driver and network driver for an MX860 printer. I downloaded the drivers and they are in the download folder. When I try to install I get what is below. How do I resolve? Do I need to identify where the driver is? If so, how?
[compaq@compaq ~]$ su -c'yum install cnijfilter-mx860series-3.10-1-i386-rpm.tar.gz'

i'm using lucid lynx. it is a dual boot machine, vista and lucid lynx. i have switchable graphics (at least it is available in windows), intel and ati. ubuntu was working fine but then a pop up showed up asking if i want to install ati drivers. the pop up "said" that drivers were proprietary yet tested on linux systems. i decided to install them. i was asked to reboot after installation which i did. now every time i select ubuntu in the grub the system loads but then it suddenly stops and i get a blank screen.

The problem: I am a poor man who until today was running WinXP on AMD64 using an old usb wireless wusb11v4 adapter (32 bit drivers). I have recently installed the Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64 release. But I cannot use ndiswrapper to load my 32 bit wusb11v4 driver because of the 64 bit os vs the 32 bit driver. I can hardly buy a new wireless adapter. But I do not see an AMD32 bit release.

It works fine till i update to a newer kernel...then i have to add it in the new kernel file....so is there a permanent method?

I'm trying to load RHEL4 (I know, I know, but I can't get around that) on a Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 using a kickstart file. I start the install using 'linux acpi=off ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg' (I use acpi=off otherwise it hangs at some ACPI embedded controller message). It does not recognize my CD-ROM drive, though, and asks me to choose the driver or point to a driver disk. I've selected 'Advanced Host Controller Interface SATA (ahci)' and it is able to continue on. It forgets that it was supposed to run off of the kickstart, though, and goes into the default graphical install. My question is...how do I add a line into the kickstart to choose this driver?

I am running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS and have had no problems with my ATI card up to kernel 2.6.32-29. Upon update/upgrade to 2.6.32-30 the FGLRX driver will not load graphics and I can only get the text system login. If I reboot to -29 everything works great.

After a failed upgrade from 10.10, I went for a complete reinstall. What I'm seeing is that when I install the nvidia-current driver x / gdm doesn't seem to load. I get a blank screen for a bit, then it drops to the last lines in the terminal from loading up. I can ctr-alt-f1 to get to the first tty.
What I'm seeing in my .xsession-errors file is:
Code:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1".
What I'm seeing in my Xorg.0.log is

I am running Fedora 13 and KDE 4.5.5 (approximately). My video card is an ATI Radeon HD 5750. I have been having problems with the drivers for this card (as described here), having tried both the open-source driver and the proprietary ATI driver.
Recently I tried to install the new Catalyst 11.2 from ATI. In the process I broke something. Now when I boot, Fedora cannot load KDE. It reaches the screen with a progress bar at the bottom and "Fedora 13" in the lower right corner. The progress bar fills and becomes all white, then the system stalls. (I can boot into a command-line, though.)
I have had this problem once before. Last time I got it working again by following Fenrin's instructions in this thread. This time it does not work.
How can I get KDE back and running, using either the proprietary or the open-source driver?

I have a Samsung ML-1430 laser printer connected to my Fedora 12 box. I downloaded the appropriate Linux driver tar file from the Samsung website. After extracting the tar file into a directory called image, the following took place:
This generates a "Linux Printer Package Setup" pop-up screen.
The following error messages occur after I process the pop-up screen which specifies a default install path [/usr/local/linuxprinter] and asks me to check an "Install CUPS 1.1" box and a "Begin Install" box.

I am starting a new line of business for my company, selling IP PBX's, based on Asterisk.I am using the Elastix build, which is based on CentOS 5.5.I just purchased a Shuttle XS35-701,which is an Atom powered box, which draws 40W of power. It looks like it is going to make a great Asterisk appliance. My only problem is that CentOS doesn't recognize my network card.It is a JMicron JME260.JMicron has a "driver" on its web site. There are two versions for Linux: 1.0.5,available as a tar archive,and 1.0.6, in a rar archive. I have downloaded both a tried to install both. I get the same errors on either one.The instructions say to expand the archive, and to change to the proper directory. Then is says to "make install" I have done this multiple times. I get a series of errors:
make[1]]: Entering directory 'usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-194.3.1.el5-x86_64'
CC [m] /root/jme-1.0.6/jme.o
In file included from /root/jme-1.0.6/jme.c:41:[code]....
After I run this, there is no jme.ko. I have no idea why not. I don't know what to do about it. Has anyone installed this JME260 NIC? I just put another NIC in the machine. It is built onto the motherboard, and has no slots to put another one into.

I followed the instructions that came with the 802 .11 Linux STA driver and was able to initialize my card and connect to a protected network! The instructions also tell me how to load the drivers at boot time, but I get an error when I try to run
Code:
# sh: for i in `find /lib /var -name wl.ko`; do mv $i ${i}.orig; done
The message returned is

I recently upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 on my x86_64 system. The upgrade went fine except it cannot load the driver for my Matrox M9148. ("m9x")I simply get a "Cannot load driver" error. (there is more to it, will paste when I finish work)Basically the driver is there and in place, it loads it but cannot use it.When I go to reinstall the driver again manually, it dies with an error only supports Xorg up to 7.5So, now I see this is an Xorg and driver compat issue.I have reported it to Matrox and am awaiting a reply.
In the mean time though, since I need my machine working, is there anyway around the issue, or could I even roll back xorg to whatever it was in 10.04 to get the drivers working again?

I've been using kubuntu for a while, and I've been having this issue since the release of the 2.6.32-23 kernel. Originally, I thought it was related to my raid array and this bug: [URL] I'm still not convinced they're not related, but there is also apparently the possiblity of an nvidia driver issue. Previously, I rebooted infrequently, and I had a spare hard drive installed, so my grub menu would always appear (as it detected an alternate OS on this drive) and it was trivial to select the 2.6.32-22 kernel. Since I installed all updates, including the -35 kernel, it ran update-grub and now I have to press shift when I reboot. Specs/Summary:
Kubuntu 10.04
amd64.
nvidia driver 195.36.24
RAID 1 (linux software raid)
kernels installed: 2.6.32-21 - 2.6.32.25
when I boot with -22 or earlier, everything works great. when I boot with -23 or later, I get the kubuntu splash screen, followed by it switching to tty2, then I get it switched back to where the X screen should be, with the system log displayed, and then it switches back to tty2. After installing -35, I panicked a bit as I'd never had the grub screen not show (not knowing about the shift key), and so I poked around logs and it showed nvidia driver errors. I tried removing my xorg.conf file and rebooted, and I got the desktop to show again. I prefer the nvidia driver as I sometimes use dual monitors.

I am trying to setup a computer with xubuntu 10.10 for my dad. It is mostly working, but flash animations/games run somewhat poorly. I think I might be able to fix this by using the non-free nvidia drivers, but I cannot seem to get them installed.
Sysinfo reports that the video card is an nvidia geforce mx200, so I downloaded the nvidia 96 driver package from the repositories, ran the configuration program, & rebooted. As you may guess, x did not load.
I have been working on this intermittently for a few weeks, & I do not remember everything I might have tried to fix it, but here is what I am sure of:
Sysinfo reports that the video card is an nvidia geforce mx200
when i try "sudo modprobe nvidia," I get the message "FATAL: Module nvidia not found." "sudo modprobe nvidia-96" gives no such error.
When I check the Xorg.0.log, I find:
The nouveau driver does not seem to work either, but if I remove the xorg.conf file, x works okay. How to get Flashplayer running more smoothly.

I have PCI-device and driver for it - tmk1553b.ko
The problem is to make this device work i have to open terminal after system starts and write
Code: Select allcd /path/to/driver
sudo insmod ./tmk1553b.ko d0=1 t0="TAI" misc=1
But idea is that this PC will work without operator so driver must be loaded automatically. As i realized the solution is to make script but when i try google it shows me how and where to put this script but not how to make it. Also i've tried to put tmk1553b.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/misc but it doesn't work.

I am totally new to Linux and have a PC here with 128 MB Ram and a 10 GB HDD. It has Windows Millenium installed but I presume this will be wiped during the install process if I so wish.,
I am part way through the install using CD's and have just chosen my required alnguage and then keyboard layout. The next option is asking me to choose what device drivers to load and most appear to be HDD Drivers. I haven't a clue what to choose here?

I dl the windows installer one and ran it. As it started it went to the Ubuntu logo and then my screen became half full of different colored horizontal lines, so I rebooted and went into the adv boot and ran the install under safe graphics mode. Now when I boot I get options to boot into 2.6.32-25 and also a recovery and also 2.6.32.24 and a recovery. I left the 2.6.32-25 highlighted and it booted but gave me a msg that said:
(EE) VESA: Kernal modesetting driver in use, refusing to load.
(EE) No devices detected.
Then it goes to a screen that allows me to boot in a low graphics mode. It loads and I dl some security updates with the Update Manager. What do I need to do in order to boot w/o any faults and also what is the difference from 2.6.32-25 and 2.6.32-24? Which should I be using? Do I need to modify my graphis somehow?
