siliconmotion video driver no longer working

Updating xorg broke the siliconmotion video driver - the new module no longer works with my hardware - an asus laptop.  I have to use vesa at 16.  In previous incarnations I was able to fall back or build direct from xorg but the previous versions no longer work either (after also updating my desktop which uses nv - I believe it is because of the new hotplugging because the old nv module would start but would lose all input functionality) (but I see you actually now support the nv module so I no longer have to build my own).

I have tried building from scratch but siliconmotion-1.6.0 does not function with my asus
