Re: Latest evbmips/LOONGSON (Lemote Yeeloong) observations

["John D. Baker" <jdbaker%mylinuxisp.com@localhost>]

I noted with interest the spate of xsrc/xorg updates being made.  Among
them was an updated "siliconmotion" driver.

I've since built a release and updated.  Alas, it still fails on my
Lemote Yeeloong due to undefined symbol, but its different than the
last time:

Is this yet another example of the "siliconmotion" driver being built
for PC hardware when the target hardware is anything but?
