I finally took the plunge and decided to experiment with a linux operating system. Having done a little research over the weekend I decided to install Ubuntu 9.04 as a second OS on my Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo laptop. On the whole I am really pleased with the install and initial operation of the new OS but the laptop has a SiS 671 based GPU and although the built in monitor works well I am unable to output the display to an external monitor or projector . I came to this site looking for an alternative driver. I have downloaded the version uploaded on April 4th and extracted the files to my desktop but I cannot figue out how to install it. Have I downloaded the correct file and if so could someone please provide me with a step by step instalation guide?
