Siliconmotion video driver not working

I'm trying to resurrect an old laptop hp xe2 with Archlinux, but I cannot get it to work in graphical mode.
The video card is an SM710 siliconmotion LynxEM (rev a3), with 16 MB of RAM.
I tried different configuration of xorg.conf with vesa or siliconmotion drivers but without success!
Does anyone have a working version of xorg.conf for this card?
If so, thank you very much for sharing.

Re: Siliconmotion video driver not working

Most of the time you don't need an xorg.conf or files in xorg.conf.d .

Please post lspci -v output, then try to start X without any xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d files and post the log from that.

Re: Siliconmotion video driver not working

If the soliconmotion drivers don't work you should use fbdev or modesetting - I don't understand any of the details, but it seems vesa doesn't work for anyone since the Xorg 1.16 update (or about then).  Those who know more than I do seem to suggest modesetting as the better of the two.

All I know at that time about modesetting is what I just read in Wikipedia ! I'll explore, then ...

Re: Siliconmotion video driver not working

Hmm...

[   479.586] (EE) SMI(0): Not enough video memory for the configured screen size (1024x1024) and color depth.

Is there a BIOS setting where you could assign more RAM to the graphics chip?

PS. xf86-video-modesetting definitely won't work, it requires a KMS driver, and there's no such driver for siliconmotion. For xf86-video-vesa, it seems it'll only work if X is configured to run as root, see recent news about that.

Re: Siliconmotion video driver not working

I cannot see any Bios setting dealing with video RAM.
The LCD panel has a native resolution of 1024x768, by the way (not 1024x1024).

Re: Siliconmotion video driver not working

Hutou ,

i've found some posts from people having the same problem.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1385264
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 56#p915056

It looks like you may have encountered a long-standing bug in the sliconmotion driver.

Those other people also used 24/32 color mode, it might be worth a try to run with another color depth like 16 .

a /erc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-monitor.conf file should be enough to test that.

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    16
EndSection

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Siliconmotion video driver not working

This bug contains a lot of useful info. First thing I'd try, switch to EXA (your log shows the driver uses XAA, but that's impossible, XAA is gone):

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Device0"
    Driver        "siliconmotion"
    Option        "AccelMethod"    "EXA"
EndSection

If that won't do, limit the framebuffer to 1024x768 (1024x1024 is allocated to allow rotation)

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "Device0"
    Monitor "Monitor0"
    SubSection  "Display"
        Virtual 1024 768
    EndSubSection
EndSection

As a last resort, switch to 16bpp by adding that DefaultDepth line to the Screen section. But try EXA first, you might get it working with 32bpp.

Re: Siliconmotion video driver not working

I followed your advices and things seem getting better, but still no graphic display.
Here are my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Device0"
	Driver	"Siliconmotion"
	Option	"AccelMethod"	"EXA"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Screen0"
	Device	"Device0"
	DefaultDepth	16
	Monitor	"Monitor0"
	SubSection "Display"
		Virtual 1024 768

Re: Siliconmotion video driver not working

You have no graphics display because you haven't installed any graphic things to run. X now works. I'm guessing it would work even with 32bpp.

Is this message really so hard to understand?

I'm asking because you're by far not the first who thinks something is wrong when they see it.

Re: Siliconmotion video driver not working

Damn'd, shame on me, you are right !
After installing xorg, along with xorg-twm xorg-xclock, xterm (for testing) and lxde, I kept thinking, after Xorg crahses on missing XAA, that my .xinitrc was Ok.
In my defense, there is also the line ;-))

[  7822.748] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

Now, LXDE works (almost) well, as there is a strange pointer anomaly (text and mouse) : to the right of the pointer, there are 2 ghosts pointers ! Annoying. Any idea ?
To all, thank you for your help.

Re: Siliconmotion video driver not working

Nice, we're almost there. Try with a software cursor - add this to the Device section:

    Option "HWCursor" "false"
    Option "SWCursor" "true"

PS. There's no 3d driver for siliconmotion, that's why AIGLX reverts to software rendering.
