Having checked elsewhere and drawn a blank, I hope I might get some help here :-) I've just bought a new PC, which has a Foxconn motherboard running AMD Sempron and integrated SiS (741 series) video controller. When Fedora 3 installed and on subsequent delves into "system settings-display" it autorecognises the video card as NVIDIA GeForce FX (Generic). The problem with this is that I cannot use the screen saver as the screen freezes after about 10 minutes of inactivity and the only solution is a hard reset. So I'd like to try the SiS driver. However..., The SiS driver doesn't work. I've read the Xorg spec sheet for the sis driver and selected the SiS 315 (being the correct series for the 741 chip). When the X system tries to re-initialise, it does not recognise the hardware. I've included X output below and would appreciate any help Kind regards Ashley My xorg.conf is: ***************************************************** # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.
