(Get the code!)
Tested recompile of 2.6.24. The SiS 5513 module as originally supplied by the kernel.org folks is still working. The 2.6.22 and 24 kernels with this module removed in Gutsy and Hardy are not working.
If there's some reason that we do not want this module -- then we still have not fixed the kernel to correctly support this hardware and we need to review our fix in Hardy.
With Gutsy being a stable system, I would not suggest any new kernel patches. But, because this has caused major regression for anyone with a SiS 5513-related controller (including certain Intel 82801 controllers), I would request that we restore the old fix so that Gutsy can actually be a working system. So, where Hardy may need to have new code to replace the module, Gutsy should just have the existing module compiled and made available to the kernel.
Cheers!
