The instructions written by Djalma B. Martins at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- sis/+bug/301958/comments/38 worked for me.
That, the sisimedia driver, was the only one that worked. Others, like the one in launchpadlibrarian, had interchanged the values for color depth (16 and 24). Setting DefaulDepth in Screen section at xorg.conf only changed after a X restart the lines created in color transitions for a kind of dithering effect. The Mandriva binaries instead worked perfectly. I've made a deb package with those binaries. It's attached.
