Xorg S3 Savage Driver
Your X11 driver of choice if you have a Thinkpad with a Savage IX or SuperSavage chip.
It is based on Tim Roberts savage driver for X, which didn't improve for a long time.
Features
- supports Xinerama and MergedFB
Project Homepage / Availability
- Homepage: http://www.botchco.com/alex/new-savage/html/
- The driver is also included in Xorg cvs.
Packages
Binary snapshots (DDX, DRI, DRM) are available here.
Note: Binary snapshots are not up-to-date anymore because of Xorg7 modular design. You should not need them with Xorg7.
CVS
See this page for instructions on building from cvs.
Status
- in development, usable, secure.
- 3D is supported in Xorg7 (but usable modes are limited by video RAM; with 8MB of video RAM, the DRI 3D drivers don't support 1400x1050 32-bit mode).
- with older Xorg you might want to build 3D drivers from DRI CVS
