Comment 171 for bug 301958

Well i guess we can't expect too much for this driver quality anyway. At
least it can render fast and well also can display a correct native
resolution it's enough i guess.. also with capability for basic compositing.

It has been confirmed that sisimedia_drv.so is work with Fedora 14, so i
assume that this driver will with kernel 2.6.35 above. I'm running 2.6.36
and it's work find, but it don't have any backward compatiblity. I test it
on Debian / Lucid and it's failed. Except the drive from antonio that can
work in Lucid :)

Regards
