Comment 186 for bug 301958

Hi
I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a system with Sis 671 (Fujitsu Esprimo v5515) [to get round a problem in hardware with another distro... that problem is fixed but...] My display is horrible - steady but not correctly dimensioned.

I have followed some of the train above, in particular I have follwed instructions and downloaded drivers from Antonio's pages. But this doesn't seem to work. I get the following error in Xorg.log.0

[ 15.955] (II) LoadModule: "sis671"
[ 15.955] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/sis671_drv.so

[ 15.973]
 Fatal server error:
[ 15.973] no screens found
[ 15.973]

I have no idea what this is about ModuleData data object... can I fix it?

(if this is unfixable in the short term, grateful for any fix to move my screen display which is now at 1024x768 (from xrandr) to something closer to the physical size: 1280x800. The current set up is giving me a bit of a headache...)
thanks in advance
