Xorg S3 Savage Driver

  • supports Xinerama and MergedFB

Project Homepage / Availability

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
