I managed to successfully run the original sisimedia driver (http://www.linuxconsulting.ro/xorg-drivers/) modified for Xorg 13, maintained now by Mandriva developers and Arch Linux developers. Here's the package page from Arch Linux: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=xf86-video-sisimedia If you need the initial source code, just look into PKGBUILD file, it has all the info including tarball, patch order and building.

@William Berzoff, I gave up for the moment being, as my driver page ( http://ajoliveira.com/ajoliveira/uk/software/xorg.php ) states. At this point I got no time left, the code I used is there. I made 4 attempts to correct the code with 4 different sources. I even grabbed archlinux sources, patched and recompiled from scratch.

I have to add that I got problems on 2 other laptops using Trident and Intel graphics boards and I had to revert to 12.04, because those became unusable.

@ Antonio J. de oliveira: any hope for a new driver solution ? I have read your remark about the 12.04+ Ubuntu's, but my hope is that you still manage to find a new solution at some point.

[Bug 301958] Re: no support for sis 671/771 video cards
Hello everyone, I have installed the video sis 771/671 drivers provided by Mr. Oliveira in an ubuntu 12.04 and worked perfectly from the beginning and the screen resolution is right at 1280x800, so thanks a lot; but later on I have found that when trying to play a video with Totem the screen turns into black and then returns to the login screen. When I try to play it with vlc, the video plays quite well unless I don't try to modify vlc window's dimensions or clicking on it so it understands to get to full screen, in that case everything crashes and I get the login screen again, just as with Totem. (Sometimes vlc shows a message that says that the video will be played at a very large resolution, but if you click Ok it shows in rather small window.) Is there anything to do to solve this problem or just it's the most it can be achieved with a sis 771/671 in ubuntu 12.04?
