The laptop got 2 gb ram,Intel core 2 1.86 ghz,120 gb hdd. And THAT crappy video card...
(I post this under debian linux)
I have found an xorg.conf that works just fine under debian linux(1200x800 resolution).Is that possible that i might use it here aswell?
I'm aware that there is no 3D driver.I'm already used to it.Posting this from ubuntu linux.

Re: sis mirage m 672

"Did not work" is not useful. Provide /var/log/Xorg.0.log and dmesg output.

Re: sis mirage m 672

This shows the server works, but has nothing to run. Install something and it'll work. The dri error is normal, it's about 3d, which isn't available anymore for your card.
