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

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)
[ 10478.408] (II) UnloadModule: "xgi"
[ 10478.409] (II) Unloading xgi
[ 10478.411] (==) FBDEV(0): Backing store disabled
[ 10478.411] (==) FBDEV(0): DPMS enabled
Looks like it loaded correctly, somehow decided it wasn't going to work (don't
see any messages stating why), unloaded and fell back to fbdev.
I'm not sure if the xgi driver has worked in years (or ever worked for that
matter) - it's not maintained by anyone.
