4.1 only for sis_drv.o. I downloaded the module using some pointer from the
list. Unfortunately, I have not the 4.1 source tree. And I would have some
difficulties in getting it. I'll see what can I do. Would it be ok if I get
only the 4.1 sis/ directory?

I agree. Note that I use the same sis_dri.so (from current CVS) and it works
in the 4.1 sis_drv.o case and not in the CVS one.

Please see the note above: it seems that is inside sis/ ?

I'll check that.
