The LX comes with a GX framebuffer as standard equipment.

Sounds like your particular LX had it's chip liberated for something else.
Any GX gpu in a PGA package conceivably should work in that socket.

I don't know if a TGX chip would work, but if both the LX and the TGX chip
were expendable, it might be an interesting experiment to try :)
