Hi there,

this adds DRM/DRI Support for recent versions of XFree, f.e. v4.2.0 with a 
slight modification. If you select SiS DRM Module, you also have to select 
FrameBuffer SiS support otherwise it will result in unresolved symbols or 
linking failure.

Without this patch you are not able to use DRI (Direct Rendering 
Infrastructure) with XFree v4.2.0 and newer with the 7 provided kernel 
modules (Banshee, ATI Rage/Radeon, i810/i830 etc.).

This is added to satisfy above:

...
+    if [ "$CONFIG_DRM_SIS" = "y" ]; then
+       define_bool CONFIG_FB_SIS y
+    fi
+    if [ "$CONFIG_DRM_SIS" = "m" ]; then
+       define_bool CONFIG_FB_SIS m
+    fi
...

Patch is attached to this mail.

 Marcello, please apply for 2.4.20-pre5!
