Title:
SiS driver crashes Xserver with EXA
If Ubuntu developers don't have time to fix xserver-xorg-video-sis
package, then this package should be removed from Ubuntu 12.10 and newer
releases (including Ubuntu 12.04.3), because then users can use Ubuntu
desktop at least - vesa driver works fine on SIS hardware, but xserver-
xorg-video-sis
Agreed. This bug's a showstopper for SiS users.

Thanks, the patch does work for an SiS m650.
I patched xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-quantal and installed the xorg lts quantal
stack on Xubuntu 12.04 and it worked fine, although the EXA performance was not
as good as the XAA.
Thanks again, I hope your patch will be integrated as soon as
Ubuntu developers, please increase Importance of this bug - Ubuntu 13.04
and 12.10 are unusable with SIS video hardware, this is an important
regression, because all older Ubuntu versions, including 12.04 LTS works
fine with the same hardware.

I'm not an Ubuntu/Canonical employee (just a volunteer bug triager), so
take this with a grain of salt...
Frankly, I wouldn't hold my breath for this to get fixed (upstream X.org
doesn't seem interested). The best thing for SiS users right now is to install
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS:
I just testet Kubuntu 13.04 Beta1
The Xserver in the Live-DVD still crashes. So it is impossible to
install from DVD
