We don't support everything that GDAL can do.  In fact, we don't
support any raster formats via GDAL, and only a few of the vector
formats.  Here's the current list out of xastir/src/gdal.c:

----------------------------------------------------
        if (strstr(drv_name,"Shapefile")) {
#ifdef GDAL_SHAPEFILES
            fprintf(stderr,"       shp   ESRI Shapefile (via GDAL)\n");
#endif  // GDAL_SHAPEFILES
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"NTF")) {
            // Not enabled in Xastir yet
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"SDTS")) {
            fprintf(stderr,"       ddf   Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS)\n");
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"TIGER")) {
            fprintf(stderr,"       rt1   US Census Bureau TIGER/Line\n");
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"S57")) {
            fprintf(stderr,"       s57   International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-57\n");
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"MapInfo")) {
            fprintf(stderr,"       tab   MapInfo TAB\n");
            fprintf(stderr,"       mid   MapInfo MID\n");
            fprintf(stderr,"       mif   MapInfo MIF\n");
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"DGN")) {
            fprintf(stderr,"       dgn   MicroStation DGN\n");
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"VRT")) {
            // Not enabled in Xastir yet
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"AVCBin")) {
            // Not enabled in Xastir yet
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"REC")) {
            // Not enabled in Xastir yet
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"Memory")) {
            // Not enabled in Xastir yet
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"GML")) {
            // Not enabled in Xastir yet
        }
        else if (strstr(drv_name,"PostgreSQL")) {
            // Not enabled in Xastir yet
        }
----------------------------------------------------


Anything not listed isn't supported either.
