(Get the code!)
Thanks stephan202!
I have done some further digging and it appears to be related to the BIOS/EDID miss reporting information....My screen is a 15.6" HD LCD 1366x768. the driver doesn't detect LCD correctly....so by default ends up with res of 0x0. :(
I did false the screen 1024 x 768 by fudging some of the code in sis_vb.c file and re-compiling....it didn't quite sort out the problem...it appeared to load the screen X (gdm logon) but as soon as X tried to refresh the screen (ie if I logged in via gdm or if I switched to a Text screen (using crtl+alt+f1 and then back to X screen) - screen goes black then fade to white from all four edges of the screen - like the frequencies where way out. ) :/
So I decided that I need to start reviewing & understanding the source code before I continuing....or find someone how is familiar with the code to look at the problem further.....
