Hello all

@mantas, thanks for the info, I republished all binaries aith all unneeded symbols removed. You may very easily do this on your own files with Linux stripper, the equivelent of the windoze I was talking about:

strip --strip-unneeded sis671_drv.so

I didn't do any .deb on purpose my system requires that the drivers are in a sub-directory of the standard folder, have to check why:

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/old_sis

the drivers work with 1280x800 since the beginning, that's what I got to test those, only lately I tried the patched tpurch code (I think) that I knew worked with the 1366x768 display.

@martin, I will make the code public and warn you, before the end of the week.

Chers

Antonio
