Other drivers had similar problems when this file was removed.  Look at
the commit log for pretty much any other driver.  The changes required
should be almost identical.

As far as I'm aware, neither driver is actively maintained.

That's probably a Z7 or a Z11.  I don't think xf86-video-sis supports
those chips.  It would be easy enough to try, but I think you'll need to
use xf86-video-xgi.
