Description Peter Coghlan 2004-04-11 22:24:02 UTC
Xf86Config / startx xxxxgli.o unresolved error when configuring SiS620 video card. Machine is HP Vectra Vli7 with bilt in SiS 620 AGB video card.
when configuring xwindow I used XF86Config, selected SiS620
when I "startx" I get xxxxxgli.o unresolved errors.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Xf86Config
2.finish Monitor stuff
3.Select SiS620 video card
4. startx

Actual Results:  
I get xxxxxgli.o unresolved errors

Expected Results:  
started tvm xwindow interface

Eventually (after every combination / permutation of SiS 520 / 620)
I tried SiS63XX driver and got it to work. (config details sid it was using 
generic vesa driver) SiS620 built in video has AGB 3D, 4096MB RAM built in.

I tried lspci and it said SiS 520/620

I presume generic vesa has no 2d/3d acceleration.
I got fairly upset with it for over a week recompiling and changing options
and sent a few e-mails to sven about my experiences with the installation 
instructions using the e-mail address peter.coghlan@au.chh.com
Next machine for me to try gentoo on will have an NVIDIA card in it.
