I 've got antix running on a Vortex86dx system. This comes with an XGI Z9s graphic chipset. I have downloaded the file xgiz_drv.so which is all I can find and purports to be working with Xorg 1.7x.
What do I do now to get it installed, and is it likely to work with the Xorg vers 1.9 that Antix M11 uses?

Apparently the sis driver now contains xgi modules but theres no xorg config anymore is there.
Is there a module I can try to make it load ?
I'm really hoping someone here knows.

More web searching got me this command.
But something seems to be wrong, is the driver actually loading and is it the xgi driver, cos it looks more like the vesa driver is the one thats actually loading.
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i driver

Is no one able to help?
I was hoping to use this as a car nav and multimedia system but I dont think Navit will be useable without some graphics accelleration.

If you jump out of your X session ( Default is CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE ) then you can log in as root and issue the command"X -configure" this will configure an Xorg.conf. After this verify that it has the correct driver and your preffered resolution by editing /root/xorg.conf.new through the command"nano /root/xorg.conf.new". Once this is done copy that xorg.conf to /etc/X11 by the command"cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf". From this point reboot or run these two commands"killall slim" then"slim". You should then be able to log in with your preffered driver and resolution.
