This didn’t work for me …
Lubuntu 14.04 worked fine … 16.04 is stuck at 640x480
sis671 in an old Averatec 6200
Tried an Xorg.conf from an arch sis wiki …
seemed to get stuck at the splash screen … reverted back to the previous …
Least i know that Lubuntu 16.04 is using the xorg.conf now …
+1 Request for SIS driver support. Thanks!
Hi wolfman
I’m new with the ubuntu OS and i have installed lubuntu 17.10, but i got that problem of the resolution.
I was told that i needed a sis driver to fix this problem, the thing is i dont know where to find a decent one and how to install, i believe i need to burn a disc to install this sis driver but i dont want to burn random discs to dont achieve any sucess.
Please help me, teach me how to solve this
Hi,
did you check this out?. 
it says 14.04 and 16.10, does it work for 17.10 too?
Ok, so i tried that, it worked, i reboot and press f6 and gives me a decent resolution. I rebooted a couple more times to test and there 's the resolution i wanted, but it kinda requires me to press f6.
Just a little question.
"I tried this on Ubuntu Mate 14.04/16.04/16.10 and Lubuntu 15.10, Press any key at boot (Live CD or USB stick) then F6 and set boot option “nomodeset”; it works no problem although it might occasionally go into suspend mode during boot!. "
Can you explain me this better? I kinda got a brainfart reading this and got a little confused.
Can you explain me this in other words?
Hi Nef,
I was trying it out on an old SIS graphics laptop and on occasion; the screen would go blank on me, that is really it in a nutshell!. It does work and you may well have to play around a little to get it to work for you, it depends on your system specs I suppose?.
