Hi!It's my first time using linux and I know nothing about driver installing.I have an issue with the display resolution (it gives me no video options) and just found out there's actually an incompatibility between some Ubuntu-based distros and the SiS Graphic Cards, specially the 771/671 version.For some versions of Ubuntu I found the support, but simply couldn't understand it!!!Does anyone knows if Linux Lite 2.0 has any kind of bug fix, update or anything that could be done to install this SiS graphic card driver? Use Linux Lite instead 32 bit the old version 1.0.8 not the new 3.4 which don't do video here's a link I use a very old computer for my TVbetter than nothing. https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxlite/files/1.0.8/linux-lite-1.0.8-32bit.iso/downloadAnd, if so, would anyone please try to explain it in a way that a linux begginer completely dummy could understand? =DThanks a lot!Sorry for the bad english..[]'s
