Video on Intel D201GLY2 motherboard broken, can't compile Intel's

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-sis
Ubuntu's drivers for SiS video on the Intel D201GLY2 motherboard have
known issues, namely that there is "Vertical Noise" on the screen.
(It looks like it's displaying an incorrect pixel every time there's a
write to video RAM). It happens on Ubuntu's stock drivers on both
Hardy and Intrepid (haven't tried earlier versions).
Intel has their driver source code available which fixes the issues,
except while it would compile under Hardy, it won't compile under
Intrepid, apparently due to using a different xorg API.
I recently tried switching from Hardy to Intrepid. Before, I was able
to use a binary driver which someone built for Hardy. But on
Intrepid, the binary driver has the wrong ABI version, so it won't
work.
I ended up reverting back to Hardy.
Is there any work going on at making this motherboard work? I briefly
tried porting the code to the new API, but it was too complicated for
me, considering that I know absolutely nothing about how to write xorg
drivers.
This problem is still present in Karmic, even a little worse than
ever.
