tpurch,

I have an Asus X58C laptop here (http://www.asus.gr/product.aspx?P_ID=qk1g4fPzWuiz1QxB&content=specifications). The specifications on the site claim that it has the SiS M672 chipset, but lspci says:

  $ lspci | grep 67
  00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 671MX
  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)

I hope this is a close enough match for you. I got the screen to work property under Intrepid (as I mentioned earlier in this thread) as well as Jaunty (after reinstallation). I cannot tell you which of the .deb files I downloaded and installed, but I recall that after installing one of these files and a reboot things worked right away (without a .deb the screen worked as well, albeit at a very low resolution).

I have attached the Xorg.0.log file as per your request. Good luck!
