Nobody had time to look into in April/May, and then it probably got forgotten, as new bugs and work came in for the X maintainers. The release freeze does not help either. > I would think that others would have come across > this bug and want to have it fixed. The fact that nobody inquired about the status or sent a "me too" report probably contributed to the fact that the bug was not given a higher priority. > It makes things much harder in my > household, that's for sure.

You can use the web interface of the BTS to send a follow-up message, stating that you have the problem, too. Ask if there is any possibility that this can be addressed before the release of Lenny and what you can do to help. The maintainers will let know what kind of information you can contribute if someone starts working on the problem. You can also check out http://bugs.freedesktop.org to see if anything relevant has happened upstream since last May. Yon can try if Xorg from experimental and/or kernel 2.6.28 improve the situation. (Did you try to put additional options into xorg.conf as I suggested earlier?) I would probably be tempted to buy an nvidia or ati card and dump the sis driver. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
