Compiling xf86-video-xgi driver for ARM

[Jeffrey Langerak]

Hi,

That's what I am starting to conclude as well. Some of the XGI chips are 
supported by the sis driver, should that work for the Z11 as well? My 
information only tells me that it won't go any further than the Z7. Yet 
if X would tell me why the module fails at some point...

I really hate this chip, the device works pretty neat, but the chip is 
impossible to work with...

So my only option is to use fbdev, are there any options in xorg.conf 
that can provide some performance improvements, I've only seen a more 
stable cursor with hwcursor set to on, any further improvements are welcome.

Kind regards,

Jeffrey Langerak
