The SIS Mirage / SIS 661FX is an onboard graphics card in the SIS M661FX chipset. Because of bad drivers and a slow performance, the Mirage is not suited for 3D games. Even the very old Doom 3 and UT 2004 did not run fluently on a test sample (or even had severe graphical errors). Only Quake 3 Arena and the Aquamark (Aquanox 2 benchmark) ran with the lowest detail settings with acceptable framerates.
Sis Mirage 3 Graphics Driver Linux 13
dude, hello there, we share a common ground on this one. I also have a mirage 3 been looking for frivers just to let me have the full resolution 1280 x 800 that ubuntu and windows can have, i remember i once tried using the ones from the manufacturer website and they did the same as the mod we did to the osx boot file, itd just let me have 1280x768 and had to stay with the packard bell restore dvd to have 1280x800. I think its the same issue more or less, since sis launched a driver last year which fixed that, for the win7 beta. My current distro is ideneb 10.5.5 which has already given wlan plus sound, still missing descent resolution, battery support and, sis191 lan, which im currently looking for.
The people saying that SiS cards will never have graphic drivers are not being mean. The simple fact is that the community has NEVER built from scratch a graphics driver- we only get to work cards that Apple actually uses in their machines or cards close to official Mac graphic cards (aka we use official Apple drivers).
Some cards contain a 3D graphics accelerator but it is only functional with the SiS's Proprietary Windows-only driver [27] (the company does not provide [28] documentation for others to write drivers). However, the Linux kernel includes a working third party driver that, while not supporting 3D gaming, makes the cards usable under Linux.
Ola, boa tarde pessoa, estou querendo migrar para linux mais não sei qual versão utilizo quero uma bem leve pois o notebook que quero por linux usa sis mirage 3 um driver de video muito porcaria q n carrega nem videos no youtube a 360p, por este motivo pensei em talvez migrar para o linux com ele para ver se consigo algum desempenho a mas desse dinossauro. só pra constar e um core 2 duo com 3gb de ram. Ps: tenho medo de instalar linux e não encontrar drivers de vídeo para ele acho que meu drive e o sis mirage 3+ que utiliza a plataforma sistry. quem poder me ajudar a escolher uma boa versão do linux agradeço espero q seja uma fácil pois nunca utilizei nada da linux. 2ff7e9595c
