Re: Need to recompile xorg SiS driver, but how?

Patched source and binaries for D201GLY2 compiled for Hardy. Originals taken from here. 2D only. Capable of playing videos with included xorg.conf.
Binaries only for the interested. I know enough C only to make a sophisticated Hello World. I just forced some ifdef's that were not working well and replaced one deprecated constant called SecurityWriteAccess with DixWriteAccess.
Binaries compiled and working in Hardy Heron beta. Place sis_drv.* in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers and xorg.conf in /etc/X11. xorg.conf is configured for a generic 60hz 1024x768 CRT. Do a dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg if not good for you and after first boot, try to check available screen resolutions in System/Preferences. Important lines for video playback are
Option "EnableSiSCtrl" "yes"
Option "XvDefaultAdaptor" "Blitter"
Remove not wanted screen resolutions and virtual desktop settings from xorg.conf to taste. Use included as sample.
If successful, have a toast with some !
