I am using Ubuntu 9.10 with a notebook ASUS K50C.
I applied and tried almost every workaround proposed by this topic and some other I found in the internet.
Nothing is working, so I am currently using a VESA configuration in xorg.conf, of course this means that I am unable to run at 1366x768 resolution and without any graphic acceleration.

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
 Driver "sis671"
EndSection

This is my Xorg.0.log showing errors: http://pastebin.ca/1753595

(EE) SIS(0): **************************************************
(EE) SIS(0): ERROR:
(EE) SIS(0): No valid modes found - check VertRefresh/HorizSync
(EE) SIS(0): END OF MESSAGE
(EE) SIS(0): **************************************************
(II) UnloadModule: "sis671"
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Of course I also tried adding some different VertRefresh/HorizSync values unsuccessfully.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
