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.
Further discussions and link recopilation can be found here at my blog: http://nacho.larrateguy.com.ar/2009/07/11/drivers-de-sis-771671-para-xorg-1-6-mandriva-2009-1-ubuntu-jaunty-9-04/ (spanish)

** Attachment added: "Mandriva binaries packed in a deb file. They will replace your xorg.conf."
