Comment 213 for bug 301958

I got it compiled without xaa headers but with the same results in the end.
Have been very busy as well. What do you mean by starting from scratch
exactly? Maybe merging it with the xorg sis driver would help, but that
driver was completely rewritten in the meantime afaic.
I will send you my changes later today.
