How to install SiS 771/671 video drivers on 13.10?

I've been trying for sometime to install SiS 771/671 PCIE drivers and couldn't find any info. Sis web page doesn't have a specific driver for this board, I has drivers only for Sis 650/740 and 630/730 boards and Redhat only. Anyone has any idea on how I install these drivers ?

Thanks :)

NOTE: This answer does not work anymore for versions of Ubuntu after 14.10.

The display driver for sis would be already installed in Ubuntu

xserver-xorg-video-sis is the display driver for all Sis and XGI video driver.

To check if this is installed or not you can execute this command:

sudo dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-sis

If it doesn't list any value then you can install it by:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-sis

You can find more about the SIS display driver at X.org site.
