Hello, everyone!

I have a ARM PC, similar to hp t5325, based on Marvell CPU and XGI Volari
z11 video chip. I've compiled xf86-video-xgi driver for it, but it doesn't
work.
Here's parts of Xorg.0.log:

Looks like, driver can't see video chip.
I've successfully used this driver with previous debian version, and also
it detected video chip correctly, identifying it as "XGI Technology Inc.
(eXtreme Graphics Innovation) Z11/Z11M", instead of writing just ID, as you
can see in line [10.850] in log above.

How can I fix this problem? I tried using older kernel version with this
xorg version, but it also didn't help.
