Since I reported this bug I had to change to Xubuntu 8.10 32-bit, where a sis display driver is available and working quite solidly, will try to get a little time post it on my site, I was already getting eyesight problems out of the vesa driver stripes and fed up of back and forth ctrl-alt-f7... My xorg.conf was the plain standard one with the modification I published in http://ajoliveira.com/ajoliveira/uk/software/xorg.php
This seems to be a kernel issue, the problem is in all Linux distros I know apart of the Brazilian Satux. Since long now there is no appropriate driver for sis (namely) 671/771 chipsets.
My cabled network connection is now working as well. The downside was that I had to install the server kernel in order to profit from full 4GB memory, but that was straightforward. RTL8187B problem seems intact.
