Public bug reported:
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.
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
