software installation - Help on video drivers - Ask Ubuntu


i installed ubuntu 14.04 on home pc. installation proceeded no problems @ all, i'm having trouble video drivers. drive need install sis 671, v.7.14.10.5280, a01, have zip file downloaded, windows.

when go configurations drive used generic one, , no other option choice.

i need install driver, cause screen isn't working generic one.

clarification of question: how install sis 671, v.7.14.10.5280, a01 driver on ubuntu 14.04?

there simple solution, posted here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2167879

simple use command:

sudo cp xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf

this creates brand new xorg.conf file.

as side note, there no 3d drivers sis video cards in ubuntu. fix applies 2d drivers. in short, cannot use unity , must use lighter de.

even more, not recommended use sis video cards ubuntu flavors past 12.04. here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/advancedmethods#sis_graphics

sis graphics sis graphics should run flavours or re-spins of ubuntu 12.04 lts, example bento, bodhi, lxle.

(i recommend getting either new pc, or new video card. there won't ever 3d drivers sis cards in linux, nor there continued support)
