Well... I tried the new drivers and all kinds of variations in xorg.conf with no luck :(
However the problem may not be in the drivers but in the inability of puppy to detect the DCON the special custom chip that controls the XO-1 display. So the xwin fails because it can not find the display. The dcon driver is present in the kernel but somehow I have to instruct puppy to use it... :?:
