Compiling xf86-video-xgi driver for ARM

Hi,

Sorry for the many emails, but I think I have fixed the problem, there 
was a patch needed for this error and applied that patch and recompiled 
the driver.

Afterwards there was an error about no devices found, so I moved my 
xorg.conf to a safe place and restarted lightdm, so X uses it's 
defaults. That seems to be working withot errors, can someone confirm 
that the XGI driver is now loaded correctly? (not able to test this 
currently)
