Even though the package xserver-xorg-video-sis contains most of the SiS drivers for Xorg and will be installed automatically when you install Ubuntu, it does not yet contain proper video drivers for one or two particular SiS chipsets such as 661 and 671/2, although you might get acceptable resolutions with the fallback driver. There is quite a detailed about the issue and that contains links to resources that detail how to compile and install the drivers. It can take a bit of time to set up the drivers, but that Launchpad page contains the most up to date information on the current situation. There is also some very useful information and a compiled driver on from one of the active Launchpad contributors. There is no 3d hardware acceleration (DRI) for SiS chipsets in general (apart from the very old, and even that will be very poor because of the age of the chipsets). I discuss the SiS M650, 670 and related series of integrated GPUs in the questions below, and note that there is no 3d hardware acceleration available, but the limited video hardware acceleration (e.g.

Hi all I have just got a laptop with the SIS M672 chipset and SIS Mirage 3+ GPU. I am searching for a driver for this as the vesa driver doesn't support Xvideo and I can't even watch video in fullscreen without that in MPlayer. I know of other video drivers in MPlayer but they are ether very slow or don't work at all.
I am really desperate to find a solution as I even hate thought of booting to windows to watch a movie. I googled and found this topic ubuntuforums. 3m Pl300 Software Download more. org/showthread.php?t=615094.
But the solutions there don't seem to work for me. I am using Fedora 9 x86_64. I have the same chipset and I had also a few problems getting it to work. I know it's late. You probably found the solution. But here is what you were looking for: you can find the drivers there.
I tested the drivers on Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit and they work like a charm. Now there is some effort to make the 3D enabled drivers. So it's a matter of time until we get full 3D acceleration. Also if you want to use a 1280x800 screen (my laptop comes with a 14.1' LCD screen) then you should use this xorg.conf.
