Package xf86-video-sis671 (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34256) is outdated, broken and lacks some features that xf86-sis-m671 (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47620) have (support for 1366x768 resolution and others). Anyway it is just feature-lacking version of xf86-video-sisimedia in [community] and therefore should be removed and have it's votes merged into xf86-sis-m671 to preserve votes of sis761 chipset owners in AUR. -- My AUR packages - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=AlexanderR ---end quoted text---
Am I ignored O_o ? Anyway sorry and please forget about previous message; better disown xf86-sis-m671 (it was said to be useless and marked as outdated long ago) and merge it into xf86-video-sis671, which I just updated. -- My AUR packages - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=AlexanderR
I've looked at both packages and I don't see a reason why they should be kept in AUR at all. The xf86-video-sis671 package looks almost identical to the xf86-video-sisimedia in [extra]. It even uses the same sources. If there's a problem with the xf86-video-sisimedia you should rather post a bug report (patches are welcome) instead of creating a new package in AUR. As far as it goes, xf86-sis-m671 seems to be based on the same sources. Also it uses a (dead) git repository so it's name is wrong too (it should have -git suffix). Lukas
