1.13.1 is a X.org server version, so it is not directly relevant here.
I'm looking at X11R7.7, which is the latest stable release of X.org.
See http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/src/everything/ for the complete
contents of this release.

From http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/xorg-docs/ReleaseNotes.txt:

Removed in this Release

             This release no longer contains the following drivers, due to lack
             of maintainers with relevant hardware. Existing driver versions
             may work with current Xorg servers, but they are not being
             actively updated to support Xorg driver API & ABI changes.

               ● xf86-video-xgi: XGI

               ● xf86-video-xgixp: XGI Volari 8300

Of course, I am curious to know if anybody is actually using one of
these drivers, in which case we can postpone the removal.

Best regards,

Thomas
