Hi UMITRUTRISCAU, and welcome!

I'm afraid your subject heading says it all 'SIS' - these chips are known not to work with GNU/Linux ... period. There is nothing you can do I'm afraid unless you old notebook can accept an external video card.

An example here:

But you need to check with the manufacturer of your notebook/external video card provider if your notebook can be 'upgraded' following this route.
