And why do you expect that to give you the definition of every single
ioctl in the Linux kernel?
FWIW, the SIS ioctls are not exported depending on whether SISFB support
is turned on. In fact, they don't get exported at all, they live in
drivers/drm/drm.h.
Getting them from glibc makes as much sense as getting them from KDE
because glibc has no relationship to the kernel that you're running.
The recommended practice is to define the values in the programs that use
them, in this case, X. It makes even more sense in this case as the DRM
drivers are actually maintained by the XFree86 Project.
