There is a 3D driver for S3 savage shipsets in the old utah-glx project ( http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net ). It could be ported to DRI with a little work. It a good place to start anyway... Several people were working on it ( both savage 3D/MX/IX and savage4). see the ML archives for more info:
http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/992/0/ There was alo support for S3 virge and some other SiS chipsets as well that could also be ported to DRI.

It might also pay to get in touch with Tim Roberts, the author of the 2D driver for the S3 Savage driver: http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html Adam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
