You just have to wait a minute (or 2 ) , then X will get running in vesa mode, .. so you can install.
Ater that; read my step-by-step guide..;

and all should be working out for you.
Edit; @jodlajodla.. Seems you've found my guide yourself.. and you got it running..nice.

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?

I just found out the driver I compiled (but not the previous one) does not load properly when acpi is on and I am investigating why...

I have added this package and it went a bit farther but also stopped eventually. I'm posting the log in http://download.dekoderek.net/sis-on...purct/make.log (it's too long to put it here). There are also some warning during compilation. I added some other -dev libs I thought might be useful but that didn't help.
Also running ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr broke the sources. I had an error: http://download.dekoderek.net/sis-on...ct/autogen.log and since then I couldn't run make again. Even after make clean and configure. I had to remove and unpack sources again.
try:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core x11proto-core-dev x11proto-dmx-dev x11proto-xf86dga-dev xserver-xorg-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev libdrm-dev x11proto-xf86dri-dev libgl1-mesa-dev autoconf libtool install x11proto-gl-dev libxxf86misc-dev x11proto-xf86misc-dev
All the best

looking at the log I think your find that the driver compiled......it will be in src/.libs directory!
cd to src/.libs
sudo bash
cp sis671_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
then create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf (I have a sample one on the blog)
if you are going to create your own make sure you set Option "SpecialTimings" "ASUSX5DC"
then reboot!

OGM! Thanks so much. Gnome didn't want to let me in but I had reset its configuration on resolution and I'm in.
It's 1360x768 though and I have six rows of pixels on the right unused but it's much much better than before and the notebook is usable now.
Thanks again to all of you and you can post this drivers as working on (at least one Asus K50c with Ubuntu 10.04.
