BunsenLabs Lithium with Chipset SiS 661/741/760

goltrek · 2021-02-15 19:35:02

Hello guys!
I have a problem solving in BunsenLabs Lithium.
Follows the specifications.
- PCChips A33G
- Chipset SiS 661/741/760.
- Driver vesa
- Resolution 640x480 @ 60 Hz
- Xorg 1.20

Detail is that in Debian 9 Xfce had a resolution of 1024x768 @ 60 Hz with a vesa driver.
When installing BunsenLabs I did not have this result.

Follow the link to image Debian 10 LXQt command inxi, to make it easier to understand but in BunsenLabs it is the same.

Thanks!

You can try the following: big_smile

1. open arandr (picture1)
link

2. right click on the field (HDMI; LVDS) and choose your resolution (picture2)
link

3. click layout -> save as (choose a suitable name and location) (pic3)
link
Note: I have only done this in other distri's so far, bunsenlabs was not one of them.
As name I choose screen_layout and location /usr/local/bin
Since you are not root, you probably have to choose $HOME

4. select Layout -> Apply and close arandr (image4)
link

5. open a terminal, become root and enter

chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/screen_layout.sh

or in your case

sudo chmod 755 /home/$User/screen_layout.sh

and move that to

sudo mv /home/$User/screen_layout.sh /usr/local/bin/

Finally you have to put the script into your autostart of busenlabs, so that it will be executed on startup of the computer.

screen_layout.sh &

5. restart

@Unklar.

Thank you very much for the explanations, I will follow the tips.
Thanks!

goltrek, just see if you can change resolutions with arandr.

If yes, follow unklar's advice - although I see no reason at all to put this under /usr/local, just save it under your $HOME somewhere.

If not, show us the output of

xrandr

Thanks for the tip, as soon as I'm at the computer I pass the command response.

Here is the command response xrandr.

$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default

Yeah that doesn't look so good.

lspci -k | grep -A5 VGA
LC_ALL=C apt search xf86-video | grep installed

please.

The command response is this:

My command said there should be 5 lines of trailing context, but that's only 3 lines?

Anyhow, it seems like you have to install the appropriate driver(s):
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SiS
The nomenclature is a bit different than on Debian, but I'm sure you can figure it out.
Don't mess with Xorg settings unless you know that you have to. I think that part of the article is outdated.

Thank you all so much for your help.
I will wait for next versions to try to correct the resolution.
It seems that in Debian 11 the Vesa driver will come with better support for Chipset SiS.
Thanks!
