anssi.hannula, mageia, thierry.vignaud, tmb The issue is that this driver is no more supported upstream. There's no more maintainers. It only got build fix from times to times... http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-sis/ I've pushed one fix that has not yet been released and we didn't included yet but I've little hopes it'll fix your issues http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-sis/commit/?id=0a4336efaafac4c34d4287b5df586bbb418f7f76 Still, please test x11-driver-video-sis-0.10.7-10.mga4 Keywords:

NEEDINFO Thierry I guess this can be closed as dead. I could not test the fix you cite owing to Mag4 testing, and the machine in question is no longer in service so I cannot test it henceforth. I think the only practical solution was to use an older Xorg driver (which was the case for a couple of other Linux's on the same box). Prefer you to close this as you choose. It still a real issue. I'll kept it open in case someone else has the HW

RESOLVED |
Description of problem: This applies both to Mageia 3 & 4. Certain specific display details are consistently corrupt with my on-board SiS video. This is down to more recent Xorg drivers - it did not happen with older ones. I now suspect that the problem is GTK specific. It is *not* the 'Opera Preferences' corruption - that was fixed. The corruptions are mostly desktop independant, but I did notice some improvement under M4 Mate! The most common corruption is of *drop-down lists* e.g. Mageia Add/Remove Software list qualifiers AbiWord style and font Gimp layer mode drop-downs Additionally, the Gimp toolbox itself is corrupt.
