Re: [LI] Display driver of sis 6215

Hi!
There's a problem configuring your display driver.

For a temporary fix to seeing too large fonts, press: <CTRL> + <ALT> + <+(on 
the numeric keyboard)> to cycle through your available resolutions, 
possibly, you'll get a resolution, you're comfortable with.

Next, read the file /usr/lib/X11/Cards.SiS
There, you'll find a pointer to an ftp site containing the XF86Setup program 
which you shoould (download and) execute, in order to support your 
card...(SiS cards are supported by it).

Optionally, you can wait a week longer... I believe that PCQ is coming up 
with a Linux CD which will have the driver of this card.

If you want to go to the character based screen ... Press <CTRL-ALT-1> to 
get another login prompt. You can kill your X-Window by 
<CTRL>+<ALT>+<backspace>... then, go to the # and run Xconfigurator, or 
xf86config... you'll get hints from there...
Hope this helps,
Rohit
