Hello everyone. I am a new comer. Could someone please direct me to a simple way to install sis 771/671 for Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. I will be very grateful.
Thanks!
I did everything exactly as you mentioned but nothing happened after I rebooted.
Please describe the problem and the solution you have tried.
Did you try both 12.04 and 14.04?
for Ubutnu 14.04 I've simply added this file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
filename: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-custom.conf
in a terminal:
sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-custom.conf
then copy this code:
thenCode:Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
VendorName "Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]"
BoardName "771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter"
Busid "PCI:1:0:0"
Driver "vesa"

Option "backingstore" "true"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

Didn't work for me ......
but .....I did this:
For anybody that hasn't been able to get 1366x768 with SiS - you may want to read this..
I have been trying to find a solution for my laptop (Acer K50C) sis 672. I wanted to get 1366x768 resolution working with Ubuntu 14.04. In previous releases of ubuntu I downloaded the sis761 driver and compiled it....but I haven't been able to find a code that compiles ok for this ubuntu release.
I ended up downloading the sisimedia driver
followed the instructions at the URL Below:
