yes, we did get Xorg running on 440EPx. Please, see the patch for
Xorg code in attachment. Not sure if it will apply to Xorg 7.0
Xserver code cleanly (it is for Xorg 7.2 Xserver code), but you
could test it and probably fix things accordingly.

Address map of 440EPx lists fixed PCI address ranges for PCI Memory
and PCI IO, starting from 0x1E8000000 for PCI IO and from 0x180000000
for PCI Memory. Addresses could probably be relocated within these
ranges but not outside of the ranges, so the above ERPN setting for
address translation won't work.

Best regards,
Anatolij
