Here I'm really only removing things that the X.org project considers
as unmaintained. So I would prefer if you could raise the fact that the
SiS driver is still useful to the X.org people, so that they keep this
driver. I don't think we can reasonably keep an unmaintained X.org
driver in Buildroot if we want to easily continue to upgrade the other
X.org packages.
Best regards,
Thomas
