I have a IBM 300PL with the S3 Trio3D chipset and these patches fixed to problems. I don't know if it's been reported but I have just loaded beta 3 and the bug is still present. XFree86.org also has the fixes on the web. I hope they will make it into 7.1 release
Hi, if you did not ask for help/support using XFree86 on IBM 300GL or 300PL computers using S3 Trio3D (or maybe about problems with S3 Trio3D/2X) please ignore this mail and excuse that your email address has automatically been selected when trying to contact those users. if you're still reading... thanks to IBM SPC at Stuttgart/Vaihingen (esp. Mr. Remmlinger!) and SuSE, I finally was able to locate/fix the XFree88 problems with IBM 300GL or 300PL systems (screen blanks or powers down). you can find a fixed SVGA server binary (both RPM and *.tar.gz, compiled on SuSE 6.4 using glibc-2.1) and source patches on ftp://ftp.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de/pub/XFree86/ this binary/patches also fixes the known bugs for S3 Trio3D/2X (white block cursor with 8MB ram, flickering screen).
