Since you were replying to a patch removing a X.org driver because the driver has been removed from X.org releases, I thought your SiS driver was in this case, but it's not. So, your point was that beyond the driver I removed, a bunch of others could be removed, because even though X.org still has those drivers in their releases, the hardware is so ancient that it doesn't make sense to keep the drivers?
