>From the xfree86.org website: Information for SiS Users: Introduction This driver was primarily written for the SiS86c201. It also works on the 202 and the 205 chips. Support for other SiS products is not available in XFree86 release 3.3.2. Drivers for the 5597/8 are currently under development and should be available in the next release. See http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.2/SiS.html for more details. Patrick On 17-Jul-98 Gary Hall wrote: > I am having problems running xf86config for xfree86.
