I seem to be unfortunate enough to be the owner of a motherboard with an SiS 5591/5592 AGP chipset. It seems to be a common-enough chipset that there would be a driver for it by now (checked 2.4.23-pre and 2.6.0-test7) -- bad vendor?

Am I SoL here? Time to get another motherboard? I'd be happy to lend my hardware to testing.

Thanks,
John

No specs + no hardware = no support. For someone with both, it's possibly not much work to bend one of the existing drivers to fit.

You're SoL for now at least. See if you can chase up a contact at SiS.
