Any chance a driver could be made for this?
the solution offered here

is really NOT for non-geeks, or could someone make it simpler?

Hi to everybody!
I'm Emanuel from Italy, I have just installed Linux Lite 4.6 on my Asus K50C  and get  1024x768 resolution with Vesa driver. I used instructions from: https://www.puolanka.org/goto/how-to-use...ic-driver/
Linux Lite seems to work fine, only a little slow on booting.
I hope this may help users of Sis671.

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 4.8 Final is now available for download and installation.

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all Windows 7 people who have come here to find a simple, fast and free alternative to Windows 7 which has reached its end of life and no longer provides security updates. Linux Lite makes the transition to a linux based operating system by offering a full, Microsoft compatible Office suite, familiar software like Firefox, Chrome, Teamviewer, VLC as well as full system back up tools, a comprehensive - easy to follow Help Manual to guide you on your journey, Steam so you can keep playing your Windows games and so much more familiar software. Our Desktop is laid out just like it is in Windows with a Start Menu to the left and a tray to the right with Volume, Network and Calendar options, with familiar Desktop icons that take you exactly where you want to go on your system.



This release has been moved forward from the usual date of February 1st 2020, to coincide with the end of life for Windows 7.


Changes:

Welcome Windows 7 people!

We want to provide you with a familiar home. What you can expect from Linux Lite:

- A Desktop, taskbar and tray that have a familiar layout.
- You get a fully featured FREE Microsoft compatible Office Suite in the form of LibreOffice.
- The option to run familiar software such as Steam, DropBox, Kodi, OBS Studio, Skype, Spotify, Teamviewer all from within our Lite Software application.
- A Welcome screen that greets you at first boot and makes setting up your Linux Lite install a breeze. Just click and go.
- A Hardware Database containing over 30,000 existing pc configurations that is searchable. Will my hardware run Linux Lite? Look here - https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/hardware.php
- A friendly, welcoming Support Forum that will always do it's best to find you answers.
- A massive, searchable built-in and online Help Manual that covers all aspects of setting up, troubleshooting and working with Linux Lite.
- A bundled powerful image editor Gimp that many refer to as a Photoshop competitor FREE in Linux Lite.
- Familiar Desktop icons that get you quickly to where you want to go.
- And so much more.

Windows 7 Customized Wallpaper: In the build-up to this announcement, a hint was given as to how we would look out-of-the-box to people coming across from Windows. People are greeted internationally with Welcome in dozens of languages. There are 2 critical elements in the wallpaper that I want people to look for that specifically pertain to Microsoft and Windows 7. Post your guess in this thread. All those who guess correctly will go into a draw to win some Linux Lite swag. Competition will run for 2 weeks and will be announced here in this thread.

VirtualBox Support: Out-of-the-box VirtualBox support for YouTube/Online Journalist reviewers and testers has been withdrawn. This was done to remove one more potential boot-up slow down from the list of variables. And there were cases where this has been a PITA for many users. If you are reviewing or testing, install Linux Lite to the VM then do:

I just bought me some Linux Lite swag, just to show my support for the project.  I wonder if I'll meet anyone at school who will recognize the logo on my new teeshirt!

As modern development focuses more and more on security, while users are less and less technically informed about security in general, most of what non-technically adept users read on the Web is a vast tangled ego fertilized vine garden of fallacy. So much of security improvements these days seem to focus on issues of no common utility/importance/necessity whatsoever to Mom/Pop/Family home computer users. Keep It Simple Stupid is evolving more and more toward Keep It Secret Stupid for the everyday home computer user. The frenetic pace of development these days, and the huge amount of fallacious opinion that is generated by it, casts such a veil of obscurity over the Linux development world that ordinary users cannot even selectively support specific development endeavors because they cannot grasp what it is is that they need/want/trust for their own daily computer use. The link below leads to one of the better assessments of some of the common fallacies discussed concerning network transparency and X.

Hello,
I have used LL 3.8 32bit for some time without a problem, it is installed on an old Latitude D420 with 2GB RAM and a 160GB hard drive.
Recently I received notification that updates were available and installed them as usual without a noticeable change.
When I rebooted the next day, the usual options screen appeared and timed out, I then got the following:

Booting linux lite 3.8 (sda1)
(hd0.0)
[Linux-bzImage,setup=0x4200,size=0x6a16a0]

This screen remained for approx 8 minutes with the drive light illuminated continually. The normal, scrolling, boot up screen then followed and the desktop appeared. The system works perfectly.
I tried autoremove and update-grub with no success and I have to admit I'm stumped.
Please, can anyone throw some lite on the situation?

I set up a donated Asus (i7; 64 bit; RAM 6GB) for a youth and while I always check the USB ports, WiFi and speaker sound, I did not check that the audio jack for a headset was working.  I only discovered this once the youth was checking it out.
So the issue is that 2 USB ports and the audio jack all on the same side (close to each other if that is important) do not work.

I cannot say if the USB ports and audio jack worked initially when it was running Windows 7 as I don't recall trying it out before switching it to LL 3.8

The USB port on the opposite side of the laptop WORKS and the non-working ports don't seem "loose" or "appear" damaged.  Since the audio jack doesn't work (However speaker sound does work) I wondered how I might investigate what might solve the issue if there is a fix.

I wondered if the "check for drivers" was the first step?

Any thoughts? 

Hi Guys,

I know this is WAAAY off topic, but I imagine it would be of interest.

Not sure if anyone here can offer expert comment, but of course any debate is welcome!

P.S. I can't view what appears to be the first video in the article, but on watching the second, further down, I have to conclude this is absolutely real.

Linux Lite runs OK on my Windows PC, but fails when I try run it on a Linux Laptop.
The laptop has Linux Mint MATE installed.
Grub does not see Linux Lite, only Linux Mint.

Laptop is an Acer Aspire One725, AMD Dual Core C70 1.3GHz, 4GM RAM
USB Stick is 8GB

Linux Mint Live boots OK all versions
