Bug#400181: Silicon Motion chip on amd64

[Free Ekanayaka <free@64studio.com>]

Hi Alex,

I'm  the reporter  of the bug  about the  misbehaviour  of the silicon
driver with the Silicon Motion chip on  amd64 architecture. I take the
liberty to contact you directly..

Did you have a chance to work on the issue? I'm  still using the quick
& dirty patch you provided me a while ago, and as it works well for me
I've  tried  to propose its  inclusion  in the Debian package  for the
silicon X driver:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=400181

However, as that   patch cleary not  an  optimal solutio,  the  Debian
maintainer of the package does't feel like including it. As we are now
approaching to the next Debian release (called Etch), it will be great
if you could provide  a better patch,  so  that it can be  included in
time.

Thanks!
