The above solution did not work for me. I am running a completed updated version of Fedora 10 i386 and this is my lspci output

VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

I get a blank screen after restarting X after using the sis671_drv.so file . Had to return back to vesa.
