I have tested the X server from ESIX RevC with the ATI EGA Wonder
and it worked after I disabled the "special emulation features".

As I recall from the ATI manual, switch 8 enables a feature which
permits software written for the CGA and hercules adapters to run on
the EGA Wonder.  It appears that this feature causes the EGA to behave
in ways not understood by the ESIX device driver.  With the emulation
feature disabled the card behaves exactly like an IBM EGA (and works
fine with ESIX).
