The following checkin to XFree86 CVS broke the savage driver for
some Savage MX and Savage IX users. Tim Roberts put up a binary
driver 1.1.27t, which users have tested and said it worked for
them. Tim just released the sources for 1.1.27t a couple of days
ago, and I've gotten people to test his stock 1.1.27t driver, as
well as 1.1.27t patched with differences between 1.1.26t and
1.1.26 in XFree86 CVS. I called this driver 1.1.27mh.
Testing of 1.1.27h caused the same failures, implying that some
difference between Tim's stock drivers and what is in XFree86 CVS
had caused the breakage. A user who has this hardware diffed the
log files from a good working driver and the non-working driver
and the only differences were that VBE was not being enabled and
used.
I looked through the 1.1.26t->1.1.26 (current CVS) patch for VBE
related changes, and the only change that looked potentially
problematic was on Dec 16th below. I have reverted this change,
and had multiple users now confirm that the driver works for them
for about a week.
In addition the 1.1.27t driver fixes a few other problems for
people, but it is too late for 1.1.27t to get into 4.3.0.
Please apply this one patch to the 1.1.26 driver in CVS however
to revert the change below and fix the Savage driver for Savage
MX/IX.
