Is this your first time in Ubuntu? May be you could read some post-install guides that teach you how to tweak Ubuntu (simply google for 'post install ubuntu 10.04', when you find a problem with your Ubuntu ask the forums, when you find the solution share it. Ubuntu is a community, we're supposed to help each other, that's the way we AAAALLLLL learn.
Keep in touch with this thread (by suscription/bookmarking) you will need it next time you update. If your noob-noob don't update until there's a solution/trick for SiS 671/771, otherwise you won't be able to access your desktop (or you will access but in the wrong resolution).
See you around!

Just a little workaround for everyone booting ubuntu 10.10 maverick.
(vesa)
I did not figure out how to recompile the sis driver due to the deprecated errors I get when running make.
However; My tty's work fine after blacklisting vga16fb
Code:echo blacklist vga16fb > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-vga16fb.confCode:update-initramfs -uAfter the tty's are useable again we use them to generate a xorg.confCode:reboot
switch to tty (ctrl+alt+f1 ,f2, f3 etc)
Code:sudo service gdm stopCode:sudo Xorg -configureCode:sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.confGo to section Monitor and put in ;Code:sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
HorizSync 28-80
VertRefresh 43-60
Change the driver to vesa in section Device
then start gdm again (or reboot)
Although It's on vesa.. I have my screen on 1280x768 on 10.10Code:sudo service gdm start
I then downloaded xcompmgr and put it in my startup applications.. So I have transparency in my gnome-terminal.
So; Not a solution for 10.10 yet.. But a good enough workaround for now .. for me.
Attached is a screenshot

When your thread it solved: go to thread tools > Mark this thread as solved
for SIS 771/671 use xcompmgr to have transparent terminals. just load it at startup.
And then they asked: what's a pbkac error?
Has anybody heard about this?
The article is written in Portuguese (by Hugo Bastos) so I can't get everything and may be I'm repeating something that has already been posted. Anyway, to my surprise, the author states that he finally could enable 3D in his SiS video card.
I'm asking to our enlightened friends in this forum: Is this possible? Can anyone translate and release the linked tutorial?

@Elzigzag
Google translate will do the trick translating it..I suppose.

But looking closer, he just installed the driver for the sis 671 771, and I don't see any big difference to the driver I installed.
looking at my xorg.confSeems to be loading already... + glxgears give meCode:Section "Module" Load "extmod" Load "record" Load "glx" Load "dri" Load "dbe" Load "dri2"
(with my gnome and firefox open)Code:mhg@mhg-laptop:~$ glxgears 644 frames in 5.0 seconds 639 frames in 5.0 seconds 554 frames in 6.1 seconds

Can you maybe try, if Gnome Shell is running with this pseudo-3D mode?! Cause it was only black and totaly unusable, with the 2D only SIS from Barros Lee. But i hope, i can use this future release of Gnome also - if not i have to switch to a slow KDE 4.x or XFCE, or buy a new NON-SIS Notebook - but dont realy want that.

Ah, I overlooked that fact completely, thnx for pointing me to this.
I just downloaded and installed the sis671_drv.la sis671_drv.so and
sis671_dri.so along with the xorg.conf giving on that page.
Seems to be working alot better now
Now gxlgears gives me;
and xorg.conf now containsCode:704 frames in 5.0 seconds 715 frames in 5.0 seconds 705 frames in 5.0 seconds 711 frames in 5.0 seconds
(I'm also on 64 bit btw, and did not recive the wrong elf class error)Code:Load "dri" Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension Load "v4l" # Video for Linux Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" # 3D layer Load "GLcore" Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection
