thanks ....I suspect inxi won't detect 671 so is likely to still show 2 chipsets but your driver should show up different.

OOPS thats not a good sign from inxi I am now sorry I asked as I was expecting a driver result etc.
:-[
the main thing is you still solved it so thanks for your patience and feedback
Good Luck

The screen resolution is ok, but scrolling websites isnt that good, its stuttering like mad.
but it has to do for now, no idea how to get that fixed and a new or second hand laptop is an illusion for the next year.
Laptop has only 2gb memory, i tried the 4gb of old laptop..same memory but bios only sees 2gb

hmmm. Lets go back a step?
can you link to the page you found your video card specifications please?
Can you show your full output to the lsmod command and just your VGA section for the lspci -vvv as well please?
Code: lsmod
lspci -vvv
[/lsmod]
Good Luck

Hi
The lspci -vvv is not showing what kernel module you are using....did you forget to show it?
Leaping ahead...your xorg is using sismedia but I don't see that in your lsmod output. I am still not a sis expert but maybe you can try each in turn of the sis ones to see if they fix your stutter etc
the other page that gave you originally the sismedia as the string to choose....
https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/sis
did you actually move the module into the driver folder ?
I will show mine and then make some comments
Code: ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
# aus9 results
fbdev_drv.so intel_drv.so modesetting_drv.so vesa_drv.so
so it appears I won't be able to use sismedia as no driver is there. Got it?
Good Luck

I installed LL2.8 64 bits and I used the answer Misko gave and now have the resolution set to 1280x768 in this topic

Looks like all is just working a bit smoother now, scrolling webpages is smoother now. Going to leave it for now and start saving for a new laptop.
