Is there any reason why the SiS driver isnt the one Thomas Winischofer

stock SiS driver on a 661FX that his driver solved immediately. Now I 
realized it may have solved just this one problem but it seems as the 
one on his site gets more attention. I know Thomas has submitted other 
fixes into the tree, and may even be the SiS maintainer.
I am, and the current SiS driver (well, more or less) is in CVS (since I 
have write access).

Ok I will try a get. This was with RC2 that I had the problems, and your 
driver dated 2004-02-11 from your website fixed the problem (with one 
small Imake change). Would you like more details or are you on top of this?

Thomas is the Sis maintainer and he updates the sis driver in xfree86
cvs regularly. They are the same driver for the most part.  The changes
he makes usually find their way into xfree86 within a day of two of him
adding them. if you are using an older release of xfree86, then the
driver is not as up to date as what's in xfree86 cvs or on Thomas'
site.
