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.
