Hi!

----

Are there any objetions to take the following two patches into the
"stable" branch for X11R6.8.2RC4 (yes, it's beyond the deadline outlined
in todays release-wrangles phone call, however both patches are
SIS-specific (e.g. isolated and do not affect other drivers or parts of
X11), both patches seem to be in Xorg trunk already and were tested (per
Thomas's comments)) ? Right now I am holding release canidate 4 off for
these two patches (but no longer than 24h from now) ...

1. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2437 ("sis driver reads
wrong data from BIOS image")
2. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2438 ("sis driver cannot
restore console on AMD64 in 64bit mode"), pure build fix which sets one
define for AMD64.

----

Bye,
Roland
