So let us see...
I got the driver working in very short time!
And I think I will use 64bit because the splash screen works with it (why ever).
I did the following:
Download the source
untar it and cd to the sourcedir
do the following in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core x11proto-core-dev x11proto-dmx-dev
x11proto-xf86dga-dev
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev
sudo apt-get install x11proto-xinerama-dev
sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev x11proto-xf86dri-dev
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install x11proto-gl-dev
sudo apt-get install libxxf86misc-dev x11proto-xf86misc-dev
: ${enable_static=no}
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
sudo cp /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/sis671_drv.la
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
sudo cp /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/sis671_drv.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
Use xorg.conf (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) attached
I will also attach both (la and so) files generated by compiling and used as
drivers by Xorg.
I hope you will have luck with this :)
