(Crowd funded) fix for SiS 671/771 video cards

[Pander]

Hi all,

Since a few months the driver for SiS 671/771 video cards is no longer
working in main stream distributions such as Ubuntu. This is affecting
many users and I would like to ask the development community of Xorg who
would like to fix this issue.

For the details please see these bug reports:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15190
and:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/301958

Since the number of users waiting for a fix is in the thousands, I am sure
that some sort of crowd funding such as:
  https://www.catincan.com/proposal/altdrag/altdrag-10
might be possible.

I am more than happy to make a financial contribution in order to not
having to write off some still good hardware. I am sure many others are
willing to chip in. Who would be interested in taking this on?

Regards,

Pander
