Hello, I am not well versed in driver installation but did manage what I want help with in Ubuntu. I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo V5535 laptop which I am using as my playground for SliTaz. I am unable to modify the resolution to that which I desire as it relies on the presence of the SiS671 driver. I have a precompiled driver (.so) file that I used to use for Ubuntu. Would this be suitable for use with SliTaz? I also have a .la file (I'm not sure what it is used for) that Ubuntu required.
Ordinarily these files go here:
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
Now I've tried quite a few way to get this working but nothing seems to work. In fact at times the system seems to completly ignore my xorg.conf file settings. Other times the system won't launch into X, probably because of my bad settings.
I was wondering:
[1] Would I need to compile the driver on SliTaz or can I used the precompiled one I already have?
[2] If the answer to [1] is "Yes, I can use the precompiled driver", where do the .so and .la files need to go on SliTaz.
[3] Are there any special settings I need to use in order to get the xorg.conf file contents to be used?
If anyone can shed any light on this I'd be really grateful...better yet if someone has actually got the SiS671 driver working with SliTaz and can guide me through how to do it.
Thank you.
