Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11
Severity: normal
Hello,
after searching a lot, I finally found the the X.Org savage driver
doesn't mix well with the kernel savagefb, even with
Option UseFBDev true
Typical symptoms are that each text appears garbled at the top of the
screen. After a few 10s of second the machine hang. Running without
savagefb cure this.
Maybe this should be documented somewhere, during the installation
procedure ?
Best regards
Pascal Dupuis
