Arch Linux

This link remains broken, so there is no way to revive my old gpu?

The sources link is still broken. Is there maybe a specific reason?

The link for the sources https://gitorious.org/xf86-video-sis671/sis-671-fix/archive-tarball/0.10.7 is broken.

I can't use xorg 1.13 , it simply doesn't work, I'm using xorg 1.12.4, but I copied the sisimedia_drv.so (from xf86-video-sis671) to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers, also I added "sisimedia" on my xorg.conf, it works perfect!

Either I did not copy-pasted anything wrong during last changeset or Mandriva package maintainer is doing the same mistake as me. Looks like my quirky xf86MapDomainMemory-pci_device_map_legacy.patch is the real source of EXA crashes :(

xorg 1.13 ...... fuck.u

New version.
What works:

* Framebuffer
* Shadowfb (accelerates 2D at coast of doing everything on CPU)
* Proper resolution

No longer works:

* 2D acceleration & xv (video playback) - probably copy-pasted wrong lines from Xorg git changesets :(

I will try to fix things soon. In meantime use old version and [xorg112] repository (this is what I currently do) - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMD_Catalyst#.5Bxorg112.5D.

Please do not try to install stuff without base-devel anymore.

Unfortunately, I do not currently have access to my notebook with Sis card. Will investigate on weekend. Hint: your only hope is visiting xf86-video-sis Freedesktop git repository and manually introducing same changes in code of this driver. At least, that's how I did it last time :P These drivers are barely supported, so most changes are trivial refactoring.

my sis card don't work anymore, after the last xorg packages update, official driver or this don't work, installing this I got:
