Need help configuring sis671 driver

Hi, trying to configure sis671 driver on Asus Laptop. Installed fine from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34256. Thanks to woelfchen. Xorg version is 1.8. When startx got this error:

[   806.487] (EE) SIS(0): **************************************************
[   806.487] (EE) SIS(0):                       ERROR:
[   806.487] (EE) SIS(0): No valid modes found - check VertRefresh/HorizSync
[   806.487] (EE) SIS(0):                   END OF MESSAGE
[   806.487] (EE) SIS(0): **************************************************
[   806.487] (II) UnloadModule: "sis671"
[   806.487] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

created new xorg.conf like this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Configured Video Device"
    Driver    "sis671"
# Those options no helps, so commented
#Option "NoAccel" "0"
#Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
#Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
#Option "DRI" "0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Configured Monitor"
    HorizSync    31.0 - 80.0 
    VertRefresh    56.0 - 75.0 
    Modeline    Modeline "1360x768@61" 86.23 1360 1392 1712 1744 768 783 791 807
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    Monitor    "Configured Monitor"
    Device    "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Subsection    "Display"
        Depth    24
        Modes    "1360x768"
       EndSubsection
EndSection

Still getting the same error. The full Xorg.0.log is http://pastebin.com/NBYyH23c
Checked all related on ubuntuforums and still confused and without success.
Any Ideas what's wrong? Thanks in advance!
Oh, and sorry for my English

Hey Angel,

sorry for answering so late - I have been in holiday.

Re: Need help configuring sis671 driver

I have the same problem.  I have a 15.6" monitor and i want to have 1366x768 resolution.

Driver seems to work but i need a working xorg.conf. Could someone paste a working xorg.conf? the one generated by X -configure says no valid modes found.

Hey poorguy,

please post the xorg.conf generated by X -configure. Then it's easier to find a solution.
