(Most likely any driver using DRI1 is broken without this patch, but since DRI1 is mostly used for mesa and our mesa does not support DRI1 any longer, this is not very visible. However, the savage driver uses DRI1 for 2D acceleration as well.) The savage patch switches the default acceleration method to EXA (from - XAA) and adds some fixes to EXA support.

> Could you create a new upstream release for savage so I can pull this to saucy? Maarten, I will also try to sort out some other issues before I make a new upstream release. Distros can make git snapshots at any point. I would like you to commit these patches to Saucy because I want to have them SRU'ed.

[Bug 1083032]
I have committed a couple of fixes to the savage driver repository. One problem was that the driver, even when built for an xserver without XAA support, would internally default to XAA instead of EXA nonetheless. Secondly there was an EXA function that needed an update for recent xservers. This works well for me. The only issue I see now is that console switching does not work, the text consoles are unusable. But I am not sure this is savage-specific since for instance the vesa driver locks up the machine completely if I try to switch consoles. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083032 Title: Video driver not working for Savage chipset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1083032/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am not able to reproduce this on my Savage TwisterK, so I wonder if it is limited to certain cards. Can everybody affected please post the output from: lspci -d 5333: -nn I am not running 12.10 on my poor laptop though, but it has 12.04 and kernel 3.7.4 and xf86-video-savage from latest git. It would be nice if someone affected could help to narrow this down by for instance: - start off with 12.04 - install a newer kernel (from 12.10 or newer) to see if it that breaks - install a newer savage driver (from 12.10, maybe needs rebuilding from source package, or from git) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083032 Title: Video driver not working for Savage chipset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1083032/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I downloaded and installed via dpkg the linux-image and linux-image-extra packages for 3.7-rc6-raring and 3.7.0-999. Both cause the display to not work as in the kernel for 12.10. I renamed the xorg.conf file just before rebooting into the test kernel. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083032 Title: Video driver not working for Savage chipset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1083032/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.7 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

[Bug 1083032] [NEW] Video driver not working for Savage chipset
Public bug reported: When installing 12.10 on our Thinkpad T22 laptops the display does not work. 12.04 works fine. xserver-xorg-video-s3 is version 1:0.6.5-0ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-video-savage is version 1:2.3.6-0ubuntu1 I don't know if these are the packages involved but they are the ones that I suspect may be involved. This T22 model (and many other thinkpads from that era) use the "S3 Savage IX8" chipsets. Using the info from this link makes the display work. = http://www.physics.wustl.edu/~alford/thinkpad/T23_F17.html Xorg :1 -configure # ignore Configuration Failed message cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: uncomment Option "DisableTile" in the Section "Device" that contains the Savage driver options. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083032 Title: Video driver not working for Savage chipset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1083032/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
