Hi,
On the normal Ubuntu I don't have SiS 671 drivers for my laptop (a Fujisu Siemens V5535). Does DescentOS have the drivers for it? If so, I would like to try it.

Since it is based off of ubuntu and uses the same repositories, it is highly doubtful, sorry

There are drivers for Ubuntu, but it is a pain in the arse to install it. Could you put those drivers in DescentOS?

Not legally, no, since they are proprietary drivers. I would if I could, but that just won't happen since it's a license conflict and non-free binary.
