Hello, all.
As I've spoken with Alan Cox and Christoph Pittracher, there's a
problem with the dependency. I do not know who takes care of the
documentation stuff and kbuild procedures, but here they are.
(okay. Building FB_SIS as module and DRM_SIS as builtin completely
*breaks* dependencies, so I did this to enforce them both as modules or
both as builtin)
The patch is very simple, adds the Config.in 'if' and the
CONFIG_DRM_SIS description in Documentation/Configure.help.
Thanks,

Before posting patches you'd better inform yourself.
AGP is *not* required.

Ah, sorry. I didn't notice __MUST_HAVE_AGP to be zero. I'll take
care.

I'd recommend the following dependencies:
Rule 1:
If SiS DRM is selected, SiS framebuffer *MUST* be selected as well
Rule 2:
If SiS framebuffer is a MODULE, SiS DRM *MUST* be a MODULE, too
Rule 3:
If SiS DRM is compiled into the kernel (which I don't recommend), sisfb
*MUST* be compiled into the kernel, too.
(SiS framebuffer can be inside the kernel, in this case DRM can be a
module)
