Comment 244 for bug 301958

There's driver that support 771/671, the source code can be downloaded from:
http://ncc-1701a.homelinux.net/~linux-sis/downloads/xorg-driver-sis671_0.9.tar.gz

Here's the story on that driver .........
1. I took the original driver that supports 671/771 from: http://www.linuxconsulting.ro/xorg-drivers/
2. I modified it to get it compiled on new xorg server, namely the new pci_struct format. I took the modification from xorg's SIS source code: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-sis/
3. The result is somewhat working driver (more importantly compilable), but has many bugs. As I don't have the required expertise, so I uploaded it to rapidshare and posted in fedoraforum: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=195483
4. Bartlomiej Gerlich (Ubuntu forums) fixed the bugs and get the 2D acceleration working. http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=958967&page=12

Question is, can we included this as temporary solution in rawhide or Fedora 12 until we get proper solution? (By proper I mean the support code is integrated into xorg's SIS driver.)
