The problem you are seeing might be related to this :

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DRI2DriversOnly

If this is indeed the case, a newer version of X may be the one that
caused the savage driver to stop working. Not sure what the best
remedy is. Disabling hardware acceleration might help. Or downgrade
the X ?

There was a report of the recent X.org update breaking the S3 savage chip in 
early April. One remedy is to fall back to the vesa driver, by removing 
xorg-x11-drv-savage and removing or adapting Xorg.conf. The same happened to 
the nv driver  with at least one chip.

Re: usb memory stick with dual linux boot

greetings,

i would like to set up a usb memory stick with dual linux boot.



livecd-iso-to-disk (from livecd-tools) might be a good starting point.

Flags to pay special attention to (when reading the man page and/or 
script source) include --multi and --livedir.


You'll probably have to edit some syslinux / extlinux config, but it 
shouldn't be too difficult. Not exactly straightforward, but the best I 
could find (wanted to sample XCFE/KDE/GNOME3/LXDE versions of fedora).


Might need a more recent version than what's available in SL (dunno when 
the multi-stuff got added), and unless you're running a DE on SL, you 
probably don't want to install it from the sl repo (dependencies 
apparently include firstboot, among others...). Should be possible to 
figure out dependencies for just that tool and get the script from the 
git repo on fedorahosted.org (or something).

 i could not get the log under noral user , but under root it worked fine:
