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.
Using the info from this link makes the display work.

http://www.physics.wustl.edu/~alford/thinkpad/T23_F17.html
Xorg :1 -configure
# ignore Configuration Failed message
cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: uncomment Option "DisableTile" in the
Section "Device" that contains the Savage driver options.
