OK.  cg6 wants depth=8.  And please take sunffb or other drivers out of
your xorg.conf file.  You really don't want to load them.  cg6 does
require the cfb modules, so leave them.  With that, cg6 is not hard to
configure, because if I recall correctly, it ignores most options except
for dpms.  If you still have problems, please provide some further
details:  What system are you on, what is your monitor, etc.  I know
that cg6 works with xorg-6.8.2, but I haven't checked it for X-modular
(xorg-x11-7.0-rxx).
