Title: no support for sis 671/771 video cards Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-sis” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in Arch Linux: New Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: New Status in “xserver-xorg-video-sis” package in Debian: New Bug description: sis 671/771 driver is not available for Ubuntu but there is a working driver in the newest Mandriva. The driver in Mandriva is based on http://www.linuxconsulting.ro/xorg-drivers/ ( I think) . Not having the driver makes the installation of Ubuntu a PITA on laptops with sis 671/771 based integrated graphics card. Making the laptop usable requires playing with xorg.conf and module compilation or switching to Vesa 1280x768 mode deformed to fit 1280x800 LCD.
