Video Cards with S3 Savage 3D / Savage4

Applies to

XFree86: Version 3.3.3

Request:

You want to use a video card with an S3 Savage 3D or Savage4 graphic chipset with XFree. Unfortunately, XFree86 does not yet support this specific chip.

Procedure:

The following measure should only be executed by experienced users and is not supported by us! We do not take over any adhesion for possibly occurring hardware damage.

You can find an experimental X-Server at http://members.xoom.com/s3dlinux/. Extract this tar-Archive with the command tar zxvf SavageX-0.x.x.tar.gz and copy the resulting file dist/XF86_SVGA to the directory /usr/X11R6/bin/.

Also make sure, that the symbolic link /var/X11R6/bin/X points to this X-server! Proceed to configure X as usual. Refer to the XFree86 documentation on how to configure the SVGA X-server.
