Hi all,
I tried to follow http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf86-video-sis for my SiS card but running `glxgears -info` reveals that Mesa (software-side renderer) is still being used. On the wiki page it says to add sisfb to rc.conf:
MODULES=( sisfb ... )
Upon closer inspection I noticed that the file /etc/rc.d/sisfb does not exist on my machine at all and I guess none of the modules are loading. How do I acquire it?
Thanks in advance

You need to put "sis" in your xorg.conf device section instead of vesa.

its a kernel module, not a system daemon.
kernel modules dont have rc.d scripts

eldragon: ah, I see. My bad. Then it's even more strange it's not working.
Shapeshifter: I followed the wiki page's advice and made /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following content:
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "i2c"
Load "bitmap"
Load "ddc"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "int10"
Load "vbe"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "sis"
Card "** SiS (generic) [sis]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

EndSection

I just copied and pasted because I don't really know the xorg.conf standard at all.
