Mine is the onboard video chip for an LGA775 server motherboard[1]. Before current updates, X happily got the driver it wanted. Now looking, xorg-x11-drv-sis is not only missing from F21 & F22 repos, it's also missing for the F18, F19 & F20 releases, though it still lives in git: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-sis/ So, what exactly are people needing this driver supposed to do, particularly those for whom X worked before last round of updates, install Mageia's or openSUSE's driver (tried both in F22 with rpm. both failed deps, but with nodeps switch for Mageia's 0.10.7-15, startx gives me KDE)? Switch distros? If some other driver, why doesn't Xorg figure that out on its own?
