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)
