Compiling xf86-video-xgi driver for ARM

2013-01-15 Thread Jeffrey Langerak
Hi, I have a small thin client from HP (a t5325) with a XGI Volari Z11 card in it and would like to compile the "xf86-video-xgi" driver for this device to avoid the fbdev driver. The device runs Debian ARM "unstable" with the following versions: Xorg package version 1:7.7+1 Libtool package v

Hi, I have commented that particular line out and that seems to finish the build without errors, also a "make install" finishes without errors. I assume that I only need to change the xorg.conf file and replace the "fbdev" driver with "xgi"? When I restart lightdm and check the Xorg.log I se

Hi, I found out that the built module was placed in "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/" and that the actual dir was "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/". I have copied the xgi_drv.so in that dir and now lightdm shows a different error: [ 8602.813] (II) LoadModule: "xgi" [ 8602.817]

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 th
