Teddy, in this list:
http://groups.google.com/group/loongson-dev/browse_thread/thread/570549e3d7894fef/07ba7be1fd1b15c8
there was a proposed patch to the current version:
http://loongson-dev.googlegroups.com/attach/c8ccd2a1370f5927/xf86-video-siliconmotion-1.7.3-fix-loongson.patch
It is possible to study this to add the proposed changes into the
oficial driver?
