We have every right to blame SiS for their goofup on Linux support -
1. They don't give out the programming specs for their chipsets.
2. They flood the Indian market with the lousiest VGA cards money can
buy. Nobody outside India has *heard* of SiS.
3. Atul and gang had to hack the Nov. RHL PCQ 6.1 cover CD for out of
the box SiS support.
4. We could have avoided the "AAAAARRGHHHS" which enters our minds each
time some newbie asks his innocent question "Help, i have a SiS
card...."
5. The zillions of time we had to point out "Pleeeease read the
archives"
>they are the poor man's Matrox Millenium).
No way! Have u ever tried do a timedemo on a SiS?
Next time we have a Linux roadshow, come over and just help us out with
the SiS support queries willya?
