xf86-video-sis does not work
I have a very old manufacturing machine control system running SuSe Linux 7.3.
I successfully installed Alpine Linux 3.13 on a spare machine but I could not get the video driver running. Only Vesa with 640x480 is working.
original system
running:
-
SuSE Linux 7.3 (i386)
-
Kernel: 2.4.10-4GB
-
xmodules-4.1.0-45:
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o
tried Alpine versions:
- Alpine 3.8
- sis 0.10.9-r1
- Alpine 3.13
- sis 0.12.0-r0
Hardware
- Motherboard: Rocky - 058HV - V3.0
- Processor: AMD K6 / 450 MHz / 32 Bit i586
- Video: SIS 5597
