Following comments:
- No, it doesn't provide 3D acceleration support (Says Esteban Ordano)
- Yes, it handles a dual monitor setup (Says Esteban, provides a How-to post in Spanish)

Can you make that 10.04 driver work with plymouth?

THIS WORKS on ubuntu 10.04

I've just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my belinea c1541 laptop, which also has a sis 771/671
@MichealH ..read below.. plymouth solution is on the bottom of this text.

Anway; I've used the drivers from http://estebanordano.com.ar/sis-m671...-debian-sidux/

take the install files, unzip them
once unzipped copy or move them (I just copied them) *in terminal go to the path you've unzipped them in f.e; cd /home/user/Downloads

sudo cp sis671_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

Then I generated a xorg.conf.
I opened up a terminal and typed;

sudo service gdm stop

Then switching to tty1 which had only scrambled text.
Anyway; logged in blindly
became root with

sudo bash

then generated a xorg.conf file with

Xorg -configure

started gdm again with

service gdm start

Opened up a terminal again;
moved the autogenerated xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and restarted gdm again;

sudo service gdm restart

I now have a very nice workable screen. )(1280x800)

Then I noticed the plymouth problem and the fact all tty's were still scrambled.
However; the solution is easy;
open a terminal;
become root

sudo bash

type;

echo blacklist vga16fb > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-vga16fb.conf

type;

update-initramfs -u

reboot

Everything is working like a charm.

In the past, I've used this driver with success in Ubuntu 9.04: http://sites.google.com/site/compute...edirects=0&d=1

Simply double-click the deb file and then reboot.

I don't know whether it works in 9.10 or 10.04; I don't have that computer with the SiS video card around anymore.

[MichealH]

Yipeeee! It now works for me Oh yes (see 1st attachment)

*One issue though,b The ubuntu 10.04 Text doesn't come up can you tell me what going wrong? (see attachment no #2)

EDIT the line is also What happens every time i boot that be via gdm, kdm and Also It comes up on Windows boot.

Success on a Dell Optiplex 160 (w/SIS Mirage 3)
running uBuntu 10.04 Beta 2 in 32bit.

Thank you to the group for all the effort.

Anyone try this method in 64bit mode?

Oscar.

mhgsys or any other. PLEASE UPLOAD WORKING XORG.CONF FOR 10.04! i have try it many times, the tutorial from mhgsys but its not working. only flickering!

reinstalled ubuntu 4 times!

Reinstalling should be you're last remedy; there are other ways to undo what "we've" done here.
My guess is that you overlooked the fact you had to log in blindly on tty before entering the sudo bash command.

Anyway;Here is my xorg.conf

Anyway;
Even with the proper xorg.conf...
to fix the disordered screen in your tty's you'll have to
open a terminal;
become root

sudo bash

and typ

echo blacklist vga16fb > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-vga16fb.conf

and

update-initramfs -u

followed by a

reboot
