Xorg SiS driver merge

This is a temporary project to merge two video drivers for the SiS chipsets. One is on freedesktop.org as xf86-video-sis, the other is currently maintained in Mandriva as x11-driver-video-sisimedia. They forked several years ago and now support different sets of chipsets. The goal is to fold all the useful bits into the freedesktop.org driver. more…

xf86-video-sis

  • The master branch tracks the xorg xf86-video-sis master
  • The convergence branch started at master and contains patches to make it more similar to the sisimedia version
  • The devolution branch started at the sisimedia version (as maintained at Mandriva) and contains patches to make it more similar to the convergence branch

The convergence patches are the ones intended for submission to xorg. The devolution branch contains patches to reduce the diff. I expect the patches in devolution to be a combination of cherry-picks from master, elimination of unimportant differences, and reverts of changes we don’t want to submit to xorg. more…
