attached is an update for the sisfb driver to version 1.7.10. This update includes - fixes for pure 64bit and 32/64bit mixed systems (add ioctl conversion; fix variable sizes, etc; REQUIRED for current X.org/XFree86 on 64bit systems, even if pure 64bit), - fixes for 301C video bridge, (scales TV output correctly now) - fixes for 1600x1200 and 1400x1050 LCD panels, - many fixes for 661/741/760 (amongst others, proper LFB support for the 760 and corrections for SiS' new BIOS data layout; would lead to display corruption with old driver) - add support for many modes for LCD which were unsupported previously, - add support for HiVision and YPbPr HDTV - "vga=" statement now honoured properly (sisfb will set the same mode as the kernel did by default) - use LCD native resolution mode if no mode is given - a major clean up of main driver code, - radical removal of duplicate (or nearly duplicate) code, - switched to 2.6 module_param macros, - enhanced communication with the X driver, - added eventual POSTing of SiS300/305 card for non-x86 archs, - added ability to relocate the image on the TV screen using a userland tool, - added Documentation/fb/sisfb.txt (why the heck was this missing?!) - small fix for SiS DRM driver (match 32/64bit fixes mentioned above) (cast the data passed to sis_free as u32) - make driver re-entrant by avoiding static structures and variables. As usual, heavily tested. The mode switching code is even lab-tested by SiS (although 100% written by me). Please apply asap (especially since 64bit systems were not properly supported previously; as mentioned, current X.org/XFree86 needs this update for proper communication with the framebuffer driver on 64bit systems. X crashes on such systems with the old driver).
