I've been trying for sometime to install SiS 771/671 PCIE drivers and couldn't find any info. Sis web page doesn't have a specific driver for this board, I has drivers only for Sis 650/740 and 630/730 boards and Redhat only. Anyone has any idea on how I install these drivers ?
Thanks :)
NOTE: This answer does not work anymore for versions of Ubuntu after 14.10.
The display driver for sis would be already installed in Ubuntu
xserver-xorg-video-sis is the display driver for all Sis and XGI video driver.
To check if this is installed or not you can execute this command:
sudo dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-sis
If it doesn't list any value then you can install it by:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-sis
You can find more about the SIS display driver at X.org site.

In addition to this this link would help you:
xserver-xorg-video-sisdriver which is provided by Xorg works for all types of sis display cards.. The Synaptic says aboutxserver-xorg-video-sis: This package provides the driver for all SiS and XGI Volari cards. If its not installed already you can install by:sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-sis– Saurav Kumar Oct 21 '13 at 01:39
