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:

Code:

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"
    Screen 0
        Option "UseFBDev" "true"
        Option "DPMS"
        Option "ShadowFB"
        Option "MaxXFBMem"
        VideoRam 262016
        Option "RenderAccel" "true"
        Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
        Option "backingstore" "true"
        Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load "dri"
    Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
    Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
    Load "extmod"
    Load "type1"
    Load "freetype"
    Load "glx" # 3D layer
    Load "GLcore"
    Load "i2c"
    Load "bitmap"
    Load "ddc"
    Load "int10"
    Load "vbe"
    Load "speedo"
    Load "record"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
        Mode 0666
EndSection

then
sudo service lightdm restart

Enjoy!

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:
