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.
