Bug#546741: Driver for SiS 771/671



Djalma Brandão Martins <djalmabmartins@gmail.com> (26/04/2010):
> http://mandriva.c3sl.ufpr.br/devel/2010.1/SRPMS/main/release/x11-driver-video-sisimedia-0.9.1-1.20091203.4mdv2010.1.src.rpm

On some Mandriva page (thanks to google cache since it's not answering
otherwise), one can read:
  “RPM resource x11-driver-video-sisimedia

  x11-driver-video-sisimedia is the video driver for SiS 670 / 671
  cards. These are not supported by the X.org 'sis' driver. This code
  is very different, so the two cannot be easily merged.”

> There is a way of including this driver in Debian?

For the record: http://www.linuxconsulting.ro/xorg-drivers/ looks like
“upstream”; I'm not sure why that wasn't pushed towards cgit.fdo; I
also don't see any git repository there. And that means patches
against the kernel as well (which I didn't check if they got merged in
the meanwhile).

Doesn't sound too good at first glance.

Mraw,
KiBi.
