Subject: drivers/video/sis horribly broken in 2.5.51

Linux 2.5.51 appears to have horribly broken the files in
drivers/video/sis. linux-2.5.51/drivers/video/sis/sis_main.c
refers to #include <video/fbcon.h>, <video/fbcon-cfb8.h>,
<video/fbcon-cfb16.h>, <video/fbcon-cfb24.h>, <video/fbcon-cfb32.h>
which appears to have been removed from the tree. And who knows
what other havoc has been created :-(

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks, Willem Riede.

The author is working on updating the driver. I talked it him some time
ago and he wanted to wait until the merge happened. In fact alot of driver
maintainers wanted to wait until the merged. So you will started to see
several broken drivers start to work.
