Given the statements at:
http://ncc-1701a.homelinux.net/~linux-sis/index.php?page=Preface
and the statements that used to be on Thomas Winischhofer's page (that
page has disappeared now), you're better off talking to SiS directly,
and making it clear that they will be made irrelevant in the Linux
desktop business if they don't change their ways.

I don't think it's up to GNOME to ensure that decent 3D drivers are
available for each and every video cards available.

The only thing that I can advise you is:
- Contact SiS yourself about this

Perhaps Jonh can draft a letter and we can get it reviewed and Jonh can send it officially on behalf of the GNOME Foundation.

Thoughts?
