Description

the 'xorg-drivers' package group includes all available i686 and x86_64 packages named 'xf86-video-*' except for xf86-video-sisusb - presumably this is an oversight

but noting that about 20 drivers were dropped recently (see screenshot) - another possibility is that this package was intended to be dropped but was missed

History

ovruni -

that page indicates that the package 'xf86-video-sis' was deprecated - that is a different package than 'xf86-video-sisusb' - is still available in the repos but is the only 'xf86-video-*' driver that is not required by the 'xorg-drivers' meta-package

presumably this is an oversight - either it should be part of the 'xorg-drivers' meta-package like all of the other supported drivers or it should be deprecated like the other un-supported drivers
