I'm working on S3 Savage driver development. Below follows a slightly
edited private reply [I gave to another person also interested in the S3
driver development] which should answer your questions.

I haven't been doing much lately on Savage because of lack of time.
Also, finishing the Mach64 is a priority (which is pratically complete,
except for some nasty security holes on it).

Your help is welcome, especially if you're willing to code, which is
what it's really needed in this fase.

If you read my original announcement
(http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/680/2002/10/0/10033439/ ), at this
point I'm still working on making the 2D driver DRI aware. See
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dri/xc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/savage/?only_with_tag=savage-0-0-1-branch
and http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/howto/ddx.html .

Savage_dri.c is still needing several functions: i've been basically
copy'n'pasting from the other drivers (especially radeon, which is one
of the most up2date), to fill in the void.

I have the savage4 specs (which weren't get obtained under NDA), but so
far I haven't need them. At this time it's more important getting to
know the DRI architecture by reading the FAQ,
http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/faq/ .

I hope you don't get scared with all this, and join our efforts. Don't
forget to subscribe to dri-devel, and ask there any information you
need.

Regards,

José Fonseca
