Hi, in mageia 5 i can't use sis 671/771 driver, the resolution is very bad and impossible to change. No problem in Mageia 4, where the resolution were ok. I did a fresh installation and i've tried 32 bit live cd and dvd classic with the same problems.
I have also noticed that the monitor is no longer recognized as happened in mageia 4 (Pavillion 22xi, it'isnt listed). I tried to enter the horizontal and vertical frequencies without results.
what can i do? :roll:

Can you please post the following infomation?
Code: Select all
lspcidrake -v | grep VGA
xrandr -q

And please attach the complete files or the content for /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf

If in XFdrake -> Options -> Graphic card options you have Enable Translucency (Composite Extension) checked, then please try whether removing the check and then restarting your graphical server helps.

Even if I never had your issue, doing that has helped here on many old systems to solve graphical issues.
