Message-ID: <20011011223617.5534C19A5E@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)
There's no current support for the SiS630.
We don't really have an explicit plan to
add support for this or that chipset --
instead, as people get machines they want to
use, drivers get written. For example, I
wouldn't be surprised to see support for the
SuperSavage/IXC16 or the ATI Rage Mobility 128
in the next distribution, since I want to be
able to run Plan 9 on specific laptops with
these chipsets.
The SiS630 probably isn't hard to add support
for, judging by the XFree86 driver; someone near
such a card just has to do it. The situation
is a little complicated for the SiS chipsets
because they use system memory instead of
normal video memory, and I'm not sure what
the implications there are.
