Bug#546741: Driver for SiS 771/671



Hi,

what Willian meant by “He applies patches from […] to […]” wasn't
clear, but anyway.

Again, not if it's not maintained on freedesktop.org; I'm not
interested in maintaining stuff coming from elsewhere, since people
can vanish and forget about those drivers more easily.

$ file sis-m672-64bit/sisimedia_drv.so
sis-m672-64bit/sisimedia_drv.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

OK, that's a binary, and? Throwing such tarballs at people's face is
soooo wrong.

I'd suggest (again) to get people interested in having it shipped to
do the very basic work of getting a git tree (and a maintainer for it)
on fd.o; then we can think about shipping such a package.
