How do i compile/install SiS Drivers? I have video problem with the current Drivers

[GrfyGrumpyBear]

Hi,

I have a laptop with SiS 661fx and the problem is that the current installed drivers sucks 100% because the screen stucks and i can't scroll down to webpages or see any video from youtube for example or with any video player,even VLC or Totem.

The installed driver package is the following: xserver-xorg-video-sis package

I found a sis wikipage with information about sis gpus on linux,and i found some drivers named "Winischhofer resurected"
http://ncc-1701a.homelinux.net/~linu...nSourceDrivers

From what i read there they supposed to be one of the best sis drivers,and i can't wait to install them.

The problem is...

How do i compile drivers? I found some info on the net about compiling with some commands but i didn't understand thing and the commands doesn't work.

Can someone explain me almost step by step?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04.

Backup your data first. If you can't install graphics drivers without extra help, then I'm sure you can't recover your earlier graphics drivers if the new ones stuff up.

Install the kernel-headers-generic package. Install the xorg-dev package. Install build-essential.

Open a terminal and navigate it to the directory with the source code of the driver you downloaded - or you can use the "nautilus-open-terminal" package (which puts an "Open in Terminal" entry into your right-click menu after you log in again).

Run the commands that it says to run. If it says to run a command as root, put "sudo" in front of it. If it says to run the "su" command, instead run "sudo -i".

In future, don't just say "the commands didn't work"; tell us what error message was given, there's usually a simple explanation.
