Hi Tim,
I had the same problem a while ago. There are two solutions without
upgrading Xfree (version 3.3.6 requires an upgrade of glibc also).
However, upgrading is probably the best thing to do but if you don't
want the hassle then --
Try adding the following line to the Device section of the
/etc/X11/XF86Config file:
Option "no_bitblt"
The second and better solution is to visit the Suse web site at
www.suse.de/en and search for the Xsis X server. Install this on your
system and then create a symlink to it from
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_SiS. Remove the
Option "no_bitblt" from your XF86Config file (placing a hash # sign
in front will rem it). It ought to work perfectly with full acceleration
and high resolution.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Steve
