Description Wojciech Myrda 2004-12-01 10:24:32 UTC
SiSCtrl is a tool used with SiS graphics cards and has not been updated in portage for over the year. I am familiar with portage overlay and do use it, however I feel that sinse Gentoo this days uses Xorg instead of Xfree as default the ebuild should be updated to at least version 2004_08_20 sinse this is driver version present in Xorg. 
Beside this author (Thomas Winischhofer) recomends using at least same version of utility as version of the driver

Simple name change of an ebuild is enough
