The GATOS X driver also has hardware glx support. You have to have the proper kernel
module first. And then you can only have hardware glx in 16 bit depth. But I have
some trouble in running 16 bpp. That is sometime after I exited from graphics mode, my
screen turned to all white and the machine got frozen. The other problem with
this X driver (and the stock X driver) is that I can only have one resultion
in 24 bpp mode.
