           Summary: sis driver cannot restore console on AMD64 in 64bit mode
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/SiS
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: thomas at winischhofer.net


The sis driver needs to read/write the mode number from/to the BIOS scratch area
in order to restore the text console (using the VBE).

Since "AMD64" was renamed to "amd64" a while back, the code handling this was
not compiled on AMD64.

Fix in HEAD as of today, properly tested.

This is my LAST patch proposed for the 6.8 stable branch. Sorry for being late.
