If TWDEBUG does anything your patch breaks the compilation on kernel 2.4
with gcc 2.95 .

thx for your attention but
TWDEBUG is defined in drivers/video/sis/sis.h

#if 1
#define TWDEBUG(x)
#else
#define TWDEBUG(x) printk(KERN_INFO x "\n");
#endif

please correct me if it breaks one of this macros

The version of sisfb you are dealing with is outdated. James Simmons has
a newer one, and the absolute current one is on my website.
