Hi, I have an S3 ProSavage KM133 on a via chipset and it works beautifully with the savage driver in XFree86. I could even get it to go upto 1280x1024 resolution after tweaking aroung a bit with the monitor configuration. The monitor I had was not standard so although it was meant to do quite a lot but it was reporting its capability s only 1024x768. As to S3 ProSavage DDR never had it dont know whether it will work. Though it was not listed in the card list which comes up in the redhat-config-xfree86. If you really want higher resolution you can try the fbdev driver on RHL 9 on the i845 although with this I think you have to pass the vga=xxx parameter to the kernel for this to work. Currently I am using vga=791 and I also think this supports a max of 16 bpp and wont run under 24 bpp so you will have to change this also in your XF86Config. bye, -- Arindam Dey The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.
