using the proprietary flash mozilla plugin the screen gets corrupted if EXA is enabled with either version 0.9.1 or 0.9.3 of the sis x.org driver. Thomas Winischhofer fixed this in http://www.winischhofer.net/sis/sis_drv_src_290906-1.tar.gz Could someone merge his changes?
btw, Thomas wrote on his webpage changelog: "" UPDATE (06/09/29) X driver: Version for X.org 7.1 available. The X.org folks managed to break the SIS driver's EXA acceleration in 7.1, so here is a corrected version. (I recompiled all other versions as well, but there are no changes for these apart from the date they carry.) ""
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Rui Tiago Matos, Do you still experience this issue with newer soft ? Please check the status of your issue. Or close this bug.
Wow, blast from the past. The hardware doesn't even exist anymore :-)
(In reply to comment #4) > Wow, blast from the past. The hardware doesn't even exist anymore :-) sis driver supports chipset XGI Volari Z9s, which is used in motherboards for servers. BEWARE! Check for X.org support BEFORE YOU BUY hardware. This hardware is still in use and can be bought today http://www.asus.com/Commercial_Servers_Workstations/P7FX/#specifications http://www.asus.com/Commercial_Servers_Workstations/P8BX/#specifications The bug is confirmed in RHEL/CentOS 6.4 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896165, which is using xorg-server-1.13, which dropped suppord for XAA in favour of EXA.
