I am in a desperate situation. I have a laptop with SIS 771/671 graphics. I migrated to Ubuntu from Arch Linux recently. When I started using Arch Linux, I had trouble getting my video card to work, but I solved it by installing xf86-video-sis671 package. Unfortunately, the source code was located on Gitorious, and gitorious doesn't exist anymore and the only driver that worked for me is gone too. I deleted it when I installed Ubuntu and I must use the vesa driver instead. Is there anybody who has the same card and the driver? I am sure that the driver must be somewhere, I hope that somebody can send it to me. Thank you for any help.

If anybody is still looking for it, I found a fork that works as well. https://github.com/gununu/xf86-video-sis-stable

this solved me: 

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

uncomment the line 

#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

to p.ex.

GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768

save and

sudo update-grub

On next boot you'll have the desired screen resolution.

There is the driver. For instance in my github.

But it will work only on Ubuntu 12.04 with Xorg version 1.11.

The last Xorg version supported is 1.12.

You will need to install the original 12.04, or install 12.04.5 and downgrade the Xorg.
