to whom it may concern,

I am having some problems with recent kernels. The SIS DRI module since 
2.4.18 through 2.4.20 will not compile ^H ^H ^H Link properly. The Error I 
get is undefined reference to sis_free() and sis_malloc(). I believe it has 
to do with the dependencies or make file linking with a missing .o file.

The problem occures whenever I try to compile the module into the kernel ( 
[*] sis ).
when I try to compile it as a module it fails when I go through "make 
modules_install" with the same error.

The problem is in the Xfree 4.1 DRI driver (I didnt try Xfree 4.0 DRI 
driver). The regular kernel X sis driver works just fine just with no DRI 
support.

I am running Redhat 7.3 - 2.4.18 &&  2.4.20.
I believe it is not a local problem since I "make clean" or "make mrproper" 
and I had no problems with compiling older kernels. It also happens on new 
downloaded kernels. A friend also told me that he had some problems with the 
Sis module when compiling the frame buffer. I am not sure if it is related 
but he said that it does produce similar errors. (debian-current)


Thanks,
Nadav
