It seems, that the SIS Mirage support in Ubuntu 13.04 should be at least usable out of the box. Anyhow, 3D acceleration is probably not available, so I'd recommend to use a lightweight Ubuntu flavor that works without compositing. By default Xubuntu and Lubuntu don't use compositing, and on Kubuntu it can be disabled in the window manager settings.
If you plan on using an LTS release (what I'd recommend, except if some hardware does not work - what might be the case for you), the following site recommends to use Xubuntu 12.04, but not Ubuntu 12.04, since in Ubuntu 12.04 the kernel and Xorg packages were updated meanwhile to versions that are incompatible with the drivers linked there.
