Fedora patches it too, see the end of: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xorg-x11-drv-sis.git/tree/sis-0.10.7-git.patch
Not a language I speak.
Can you build xf86-video-sis strictly from upstream git without a patch?
I don't build. I install what others build, and report what I observe when I think it appropriate.
I can't, and no one else seems to be able to either, so I'm not sure why you're arguing this.
Simply pointing out that those needing the SiS driver to work with Z7/XG20 on a recent X Server version apparently can be accommodated, since it works in Rawhide, Factory, Fedora latest and openSUSE latest. As to why whatever makes it work in Fedora and openSUSE hasn't been pushed upstream I haven't the foggiest notion, beyond an apparent dearth of SiS testers and developers. The reason I put this particular former server motherboard into service in a test system was precisely to reduce the shortage of SiS testers.
