i hear the Linux Driver Project has had lots of companies ask for
assistance in writing drivers for their hardware...

see:
http://www.itpro.co.uk/606360/free-l...er-development

whether or not SiS Corporations is involved i do not know..
but you can search their site
http://www.sis.com/function/search.p...imageField.y=0
and see what they have, or not..

if you have some SiS hardware without a good linux driver you could
(should) write them a NICE letter and ask them to consider seeing
assistance from the Linux Driver Project..

and, i believe if enough folks with SiS products ask, nicely...they
will get it done, eventually..

additionally, if a million folks write and tell them nicely that they
decided to NOT buy SiS device model number [whatever] BECAUSE there
was no Linux driver....then, it will get done a LOT sooner..

Certainly, I am sure they will appreciate any feedback _you_ send them.
