Please use xwin-discuss@opensolaris.org for public issues - you shouldn't
be cross-posting between Sun-internal-only lists like x11-interest,
and opensolaris.org mailing lists.

(Sorry, but I can't help with the actual query - I have no SIS hardware and
 know nothing about the driver other than what version we download from X.Org
 to build/package for OpenSolaris.   If the driver doesn't work on Linux either,
 it's probably an upstream driver issue, since we use the same sources.)
