I'm sorry that you might have gotten me wrong. I did not want to be arrogant or what ever. I hope, as you do, that this bug will be fixed as fast as possible, because I am using it, too. But to be serious, Ubuntu developers have no time and experience to support you when having problems with drivers not shipped by Ubuntu. (Do not get me wrong at this point! I hope they will ship it in the future!) I never tried compiling the sisimedia (or any other sis mirage 3+ driver) for 64bit systems, I only thought it should work according to comment 3 and 4 at http://estebanordano.com.ar/sis-m671m672-driver-for-xorg-xserver-7-5-on-debian-sidux/ so I am sorry if I might have been wrong. I am currently downloading Lucid 64bit to test it out! If it does not work you might have the ability to use the VESA driver, just try to boot the lifecd with vga=771 you will have a small resolution but this can be fixed with xorg.conf. This worked for me on first Lucid boot. But as I said before, tricks as vga=771 should not be needed to boot a linux distribution that focusses on usability. If other linux distributions support "X.Org X Server 1.7" on 64bit one might extract the source code and recompile it for Lucid. Maybe the compiled version would do the job, too.
By the way... why do you use 64bit? Won't 32bit or maybe 32bit pae do the job, too?
