Decided to dig in and mess around with linux since my unix class has gotten the bug stirred up in me again. I found an old laptop(acer aspire 5003 wlmi) but the monitor was broken so I took it off and am VGA'd into my acer h213h. So I loaded fedora 17(thats the distro we are using in my class) and got it all up to date but there is no 16:9 ratio screen resolution(I don't care about getting it all the way up to 1920 by 1080) just want to be able to work with straining my eyes. SO my question is this: are there drivers for the video card: sis m760gx (or the monitor) that will allow a 16:9 ratio? Thanks for any help with my first delving into linux!

Hi, This year I tried a few distros and found much the same. My monitor is a new 2012 Acer 19' with native res of 1440 x 900 (ish). With Fedora 17, It would not see it as 1440 pixels wide, so although I could use it, the main problem was seeing the 'min/max' icons top right of screen, icons not in the right place to click on, but too many graphics 'issues' to keep using it. So I tried Mint 11, and the Acer screen drivers were installed automatically, and screen res is correct now. Using a Geforce 8400s with DVI out to DVI in on the Acer, screen image is fine.

DeZmond's Guide to Tweaking SiS drivers Written: May 2006 Greetings to everyone (it's my first post, after all), I'd like to introduce myself - I am DeZmond, one tech-obessive from Scotland. I use an Acer Aspire 5002LM which has become my main PC after a catastrophe took my main PC away.

Absoft announces new tools for ibm xl compilers for mac pro. This contains gfortran (g95) version 4.0 compiler.

As a result I have taken to tweaking it's performance to maximum gain. This guide is intended for those poor souls who have SiS integrated graphics on their notebooks and want to squeeze every last drop of power from the chipset. A word of warning: Don't expect warp speed. The SiS chipsets have poor 3D performance by nature in hardware and not much can be done about that. In this case we are looking to aid compatibility and improve performance slightly.

Before we go any further, I'd like to point out that I take no responsibility for what may happen as a result of following these instructions; these settings were discovered by accident and manipulated by experimentation. Use common sense when applying these settings. And if you aren't confident in the use of your PC, don't bother trying this - you could mess up your system. You have been warned. The Overview As far as I'm concerned, SiS drivers are a joke. I've yet to see any useful improvements in the last few incarnations of the drivers they periodically release online. In addition, there is no configuration for our 3D options!

Well, let's fix that now. Historically SiS had a 3D wizard bundled with the driver utility but this has been long gone from what I can ascertain.

That means it's down to us. Nurse, scalpel please At this point I'm assuming that you are running a chipset that uses SiS integrated graphics (not the discrete cards like the Xabre or 6326) and that you have the latest drivers installed. For simplicity, I'm assuming Windows XP is installed and working and that the user has some previous computer knowledge. To see the bountiful options that await us, we need to visit our good old friend, Mr Registry. Open regedit by hitting 'Start' followed by 'Run.'

And typing 'regedit'. You should now be confronted with the registry in all it's glory.

You'll need to navigate to the following location: HKEYLOCALMACHINE SYSTEM Controlset001 Control Video 3. Once in this folder, you should see 4 folders with long hex names. As far as I can tell these vary from system to system so open each one individually until you find a folder with '0000', '0001' and 'Video' inside it, with the first two having subfolders. Now that you've located the correct folder, open '0000' inside it. You'll see a long list of keys, with names like '2DBI01' and so on.

Scroll down the list until you see the command 'SiS.3D.3DCOMMAND'. Then you will know that you have found the 3D settings. Some of the functions of the keys are unknown at this stage - no documentation on this issue is provided and it seems to be a guessing game, although if anyone can map some functions that would help immensely.

However, those I have tested and would recommend are: (set the following keys and values) SiS.3D.AAEnable - 1 SiS.3D.CompressTex - 1 SiS.3D.FSAA - 1 SiS.3D.LightTurboMode - 1 SiS.3D.TnLGuardBand - 1 Beyond that I can't really offer much advice on settings - experiment according to your needs and post up your results; we can try and assemble a list of what helps and what doesn't and hopefully improve compatibility and performance a little bit. Making the best of a bad situation, it could be said. Click to expand.Thanks for the reply DeZmond, I think it has the SiS M760GX aka Mirage II. The main game she likes to play is Sims 2, and I am very surprised the makes didn't include support for working with Dx8, it seems to be either dx9 or software, which is painfully slow. Seems crazy to me how such a popular game, by people of many ages, (many people who prob don't have top spec pc's).

I did some research but have yet to find anyway to make it use any of the gfx hardware, and stuck with software rendering:/. Any work around ideas?
