Bug#546741: Kernel patches

2010-06-29 Thread Christopher James Halse Rogers 
The kernel patches on that upstream page were incorporated into the
mainline kernel around 2008.  They're no problem.

So an xf86-video-sis-imedia source package is feasible, although ugly.
Merging the 671/771 support into the freedesktop.org driver would
clearly be better, but… urgh that's a big diff.

afaik kernel patches without support in xorg are unusable.
