[Bug 301958] Re: [needs-packaging] no working driver for sis 671/771 video cards

 

@Pander, greetings, your 2 first assumptions are correct, smaller in
size, smaller in memory usage yes but faster in processing not really.
On properly-built systems debug symbols are invoked when somebody need
those at the debbugging phase.

Briefly reviewed the code since 8.10, if the debug stuff was there, it
has been since the very beginning, and as in windoze, an utility must
exist to purge it from the objects. I will take a brief look at that
asap.

What the xorg guys should do in my humble opinion is to very visibly
publish a list of the supported hardware, and propagate it to all
distributions. This way, any promitent system buyer would be suitably
warned agains buying proprietary pita hardware making us going though
all this.

Cheers
