SiS 671/771 Graphics Ubuntu 10.04

[Mark Widdicombe]

G'day all,

I have just "upgraded" to Ubuntu 10.04.  For some reason or another it cannot load the video driver.  I get the following error:-

UBUNTU IS RUNNING IN LOW-GRAPHICS MODE

The following error was encountered.  You may need to update your configuration to solve this.

(EE) Failed to load .usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/sisimedia_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module sisimedia (loader failed, 7)
(EE) No devices detected

The driver does exist in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers.

Here is an extract from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:-

This worked properly on 9.10

Any assistance will be much appreciated.

PS. Sorry for the long extract--I only have access to email on this machine, not internet, so I can't post it online.
