[ubuntu-in] Gutsy 64 bit troubles.

[nan budh]

In my further attempt to fix Graphics corruption plus freezeups (both may be unrelated problems for all i know) on my Gutsy installation i just visited the #linux channel at irc and the guys over there helped me out for over an hour(i am indebted to them for this) and i learnt a lot today.

I modified the  xorg.conf file changing "SiS" entry in Device>Driver to "svga" and then to "vesa". And it did not work.
it did not find the svga module while vesa did run but there were four columns with unreadable resolution on the Gnome login screen.

I was wondering how can it be possible that there is no generic driver for my integrated graphics card? there has to be some solution, no? 
Any input appreciated.

My machine: AMD Athlon 64, ASUS K8S-MX motherboard with SiS 760GX / 965L Chipset.  Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter. Samsung 80 GB SATA  HDD and LG 700E Monitor.
