Michael, thanks for the testing. This is very helpful. Can you please also attach your Xorg.0.log?
I can not promise to get to this the next few weeks, but the first thing I will do is to build a debug build of the savage driver (add -DTRACEON to CFLAGS in debian/rules) both before and after upgrading to xserver- xorg-lts-quantal and see if something obvious is different in the logs. If anyone else want to beat me to this, please do :) ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-video-savage (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-savage in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083032 Title: Video driver not working for Savage chipset Status in “xserver-xorg-video-savage” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When installing 12.10 on our Thinkpad T22 laptops the display does not work. 12.04 works fine. xserver-xorg-video-s3 is version 1:0.6.5-0ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-video-savage is version 1:2.3.6-0ubuntu1 I don't know if these are the packages involved but they are the ones that I suspect may be involved. This T22 model (and many other thinkpads from that era) use the "S3 Savage IX8" chipsets.
