For my information what is or are Geode chips? I have seen other references which might be of assistance.
The point is that cyrix_drv.o does exist! Also an almost empty man page with no author credits!
So who actualy knows something about cyrix mediaGX. These are very common on not very old and very good single board machines.
Interestingly XF86_SVGA as distributed by RedHat along with 4.0.3 is the only thing which works at all with my cyrix chips.
Thanks for the tip but I would realy like to go forwards. I'll keep you informed.

only 3.3.6 is working with more or less success. 4.x is not supported for
Geode chips.
After asking for help on this list few days ago, I've been answered to ask
National for support. They answered I should check linux4.tv, where there
should be a driver for those cards. Alas, the file seems to no longer exist
(there - supposedly - is a geode_drv.so driver contained in
nsc-sdk-X-4.01-0.i386.rpm, but I cannot find the file on the web site). So
we are stuck with the old X server ...
Best regards,
