I found this in a chinese web...

You can try with this precomplied driver!

1) Download xorg-driver-sis671-ubuntu11.04.tar.gz :~

xorg-driver-sis671-ubuntu11.04.tar.gz

Extract.

2) Copy sis671_drv.so file to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
3) Copy xorg.conf file to /etc/X11/
4) Reboot.

Good luck!

1 download driver source files :~

xorg-driver-sis671-0.9.1-fixed-source.tar.gz (1.57 MB)

2 extract it; configure; make;

./configure
make
you may see error ,no worries,we just need to do a bit change .
According to error, the parameters that do not match the function prompts change it, will add that char * position to pay a 0 (NULL) values. You should need to change two places

3 go on making
You probably will see error message "sis671.@DRIVER_MAN_SUFFIX@object...".It doesn't matter,just ignore it.

4 Making process will create a directory path,probaly names .lib which is hidden directly. There are
sis671_drv.so and sis671_drv.la files in the .lib directly. You need to copy those 2 files to

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers

5 shutdown gdm
sudo service gdm stop

6 login terminal mode( Ctrl+Alt+F1 ) and run

sudo bash
Xorg -configure
cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
service gdm start

7 you will see the desktop again,but the resolution is low. So you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to
modify Section "Device" driver 's value to sis671
logout and login again ,done!

Ehhhh, keith, for paste the text to terminal this with Ctrl+Shift+V... Espero que te sirva :D

Thanks

It won't let me. Menu item paste disabled.

Good after-noon.

This works in my 11.10, too.
