xserver-xorg-video-sis671_0.9.1-2.20091203~lucid_i386.deb - sis671/sis771 drivers package with postinst script and xorg.conf Edit (1.2 MiB, application/x-debian-package)

I've packaged sis671/sis771 drivers from http://ajoliveira.com/ajoliveira/uk/software/xorg.php with "blacklist vga16fb", postinst script for updating initramfs and xorg.conf config file into .deb package, see attached deb file or http://ftp.akl.lt/Linux/Baltix/Baltix-Ubuntu-packages/lucid/SIS-671-771-drivers/
Users can simply install attached deb file and reboot the computer - SIS 671/771 video chipset will work fine after reboot - I've tested this package with Asus-K50C computer (1360x768 resolution) :)

Antonio J. de Oliveira, it seems your driver binary files at http://ajoliveira.com/ajoliveira/uk/software/xorg.php are compiled with debugging symbols, and they are very big compared to files from Mandriva or Debian packages from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=45;bug=546741
