That sounds like a bug in the mips64le dynamic linker ( for some reason
this does *not* happen on sgimips64 ), which was fixed a while ago and
apparently came back. On my gdium it helps to explicitly load a bunch
of modules like this:

Section "Module"
        Load "exa"
        Load "xaa"
        Load "vgahw"
EndSection

then I get:
[   104.017] (II) SMI: driver (version 1.7.8) for Silicon Motion Lynx chipsets: Lynx,
        LynxE, Lynx3D, LynxEM, LynxEM+, Lynx3DM, Cougar3DR, MSOC

etc.
