Fedora 18 and SIS Driver


The SIS driver in Fedora 18 is broken, and the vesa driver is not an option, doesn't support more than 1024x768, and the X has a horrible rendering.

So, create the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf ant put this inside

 Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "sis"
        Option     "NoAccel"
EndSection

This will disable the acceleration from the graphic card, but at least the desktop is usable again, until this problem is solved.
