I own model VAIO type M VGC-M52B/L (product for Japan) doing chip set in SiS661FX.
After installing antiX-15 in this, resolution becomes 1024x768.
This built-in display is 1280x800.

1) make sure the"sis" kernel driver is loaded:

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep sis
If it is not loaded then run:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe sis
2) Remove this section from your xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

    SubSection"Display"
        Modes"1280x1024""1333x768""1024x768""800x600"
    EndSubSection
or change it so the first resolution is the native resolution of your screen like:

Code: Select all

    SubSection"Display"
        Modes"1280x800""1280x1024""1333x768""1024x768""800x600"
    EndSubSection
3) Then restart X by going to"Logout" in the main menu and then choosing"logout" again in the desktop-session-exit window. You will then have to log in at the SLiM login window.

Note that the"sis" kernel driver is not automatically detected on the Live system.

Thank you for BitJam correspondence.
As a result, I was able to solve this problem by adding resolution to xorg.conf.

@balloon, when you boot the live system, you should be able to specify the resolution using the cheat"xorg=1280x800". This should be easier than editing xorg.conf and restarting X. If you have already installed then you don't have to bother with this.

I would also like to know if you end up with the correct (1280x800) resolution if you remove the section:

Code: Select all

   SubSection"Display"
        Modes"1280x800""1280x1024""1333x768""1024x768""800x600"
    EndSubSection
from xorg.conf and then restart X.

Thanks.

A forum has the limit of the file extension.
Therefore I allow me to refer to live-init.log in follows:

I added"xorg=1280x800" to boot option. but it does not function.
