Since my previous message seems did not arrive anyone interested I
repeat it, stressing that the maintainer seems not to maintain the
driver, so somebody with access should apply the patch. It's a trivial
patch...

-------- Missatge original --------
Assumpte: [PATCH] to SIS USB2VGA DRIVER

Hi list!, first of all I'm not subscrived to the list but would be great
if you CC me the answers for this mail.
I write because a long time ago I detected that just adding a new USB ID
to the USB2VGA driver it can work with a new adapter. I contacted the
maintainer as appeared in the MAINTAINERS list;

SIS FRAMEBUFFER DRIVER
P: Thomas Winischhofer
M: [email protected]
W: http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsisvga.shtml
S: Maintained

SIS USB2VGA DRIVER
P: Thomas Winischhofer
M: [email protected]
W: http://www.winischhofer.at/linuxsisusbvga.shtml
S: Maintained

He didn't answered nor added the line, and his web seems down.
So it would be great if somebody could do this for him.
I send the patch...

Cheers,

Albert

Needs a Signed-off-by: line, but otherwise yes looks trivial if you've
tested the driver with the new USB id

Your message did reach the list, however it would help if you would
resend the patch with a clear description and subject line and a
signed-off-by.

I tried to contact Thomas a few months ago and also replied no reply,
for what it's worth. Perhaps CCing the USB maintainer might help.
