Thomas,

I'll let Mike respond to most of your questions, since he's creating the
patch.

If you think you can get the SiS driver ported to Mesa 4.0 without docs,
then go for it.  

I have to say, it's been my experience that anytime the sequencing of
the graphics state being written to the hardware changes, you are going
to need to have a good understanding for how the hardware works in order
to debug any problems.  That's why there is need for hardware
documentation, IMO.

Jens
