The driver we both compiled has an intermittent flaw, happened to me this morning and I heard this before:

LoadModule: "sis671"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/old_sis/sis671_drv.so
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/old_sis/sis671_drv.so: undefined symbol: resVgaIoShared
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/old_sis/sis671_drv.so
(II) UnloadModule: "sis671"
(EE) Failed to load module "sis671" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) No drivers available.

Before this, immediately after detecting the driver:

(--) PCI:*(0:1:0:0) 1039:6351:1558:0801 Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter rev 16, Mem @ 0xc0000000/268435456, 0xd4000000/131072, I/O @ 0x00009000/128

when the driver is successfully loaded:

(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

and when not:

(II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket)

It seems that ACPI has a nasty effect here. Never saw this behavior on the previous driver I compiled for Karmic.
