I have the same issue here.
Paulo Zanoni from Mandriva (pzanoni [at] mandriva dot com) is the
maintainer of this driver. He applies patches from
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-sis/ to
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/x11-driver-video-sisimedia/current/
.
I agree with Jonatas. An alternative package would be great! There are
many people suffering with this driver.
Thank you.
