Is there some new development with the 3D Driver for the SIS 672 Chip?!
I like my notebook but it looks like i need 3D power for e.g. "Gnome Shell".
Is there no way to to modify the 3D drivers for Ubuntu 7.04???
Whats the problem?

I've really been battling with my Fujitsu Esprimo V5535 and Mint (Gloria) - just couldn't get the screen resolution sorted out.
As a total computer incompetent, I was on the verge of installing something else in an effort to make it work, and eventually stumbled across this thread.
bgerlich - many, many thanks for that. I suddenly seem to have a useable computer again!
I am using ubuntu 9.04 64bit in a Esprimo Mobile v5553 what supposely needs ( Sis 771/671) and I don't want to use it with Windows, so I downloaded Ubuntu from the official website but the screen is too awful (800X600).
Unfortunately I am new and I only know how to use (gksu nautilus, because is the graphics console) for moving files as a root, and I 1)download them 2) unpacked them and moved them to the "drivers" folders as written, 3.- I have changed xorg.conf and added the line "Driver "sis671" "
at the end I figure out that you can restart xorg by (sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg)
But is not working, I have been trying for one month already everything I find in google but no success.
Can anyone be so nice and post a step by step ( for newis) solution... This kind of difficult things make people come back to Windows, and I really I am convinced that should be a way, thanks!

Thank you
Assuming you copied the driver files to the correct location (see above), you now have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
In an unmodified xorg.conf there should be something like this:
To add the driver change it to look like this:Code:Section Device
Identifier "ConfiguredVideoDevice"
EndSection
Save xorg.confCode:Section Device
Identifier "ConfiguredVideoDevice"
Driver "sis671"
EndSection
Restart the xserver by logging off and then log in again.
Hope it helps.
BTW If you doa new xorg.conf is created and your changes will be lost.Code:sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
bgerlich thank you very much for the driver but i have a problem with the display on my FS V5535 when it goes to sleep. The display is not suspended, but starts to blink. If somebody has the same problem and knew where is the problem, please help me?!
