(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.

Maarten, by the way, I do intend to package a snapshot for Debian soon, so you can just sync it to Saucy later (I don't think the single Ubuntu patch for PCI instead of AGP is needed any longer).

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-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-savage in 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 ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1083032] Re: Video driver not working for Savage chipset
22 hours and no response, what a useless testing crowd. I uploaded a patched xorg-server-lts-quantal to my PPA as well and tested it on my Precise setup. It now works better when using EXA (kernel module gets loaded and DRI works). But after a server restart (logout/login) it locks up again. Without EXA (thus Falling back to shadowfb) it is all messed up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-savage in 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/xserver-xorg-video-savage/+bug/1083032/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1083032] Re: Video driver not working for Savage chipset
Tormod, Perhaps you can provide test instructions? I looked at your PPA files. Do I install all of them? Just some? How do I uninstall after testing? I guess at this point you have already tested. I am willing to test but need a little help to get started. Rich On 3/7/2013 4:58 PM, Tormod Volden wrote: 22 hours and no response, what a useless testing crowd.

I added a possible fix (taken from upstream 1.14) to the xorg-server package in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.series_filter=quantal Can somebody please test it on 12.10?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1083032] Re: Video driver not working for Savage chipset
Hi, there! Laptop ACER Aspire 1300 with Savage chipset, Lubuntu 12.04. I have NOT changed my kernel, just updated it to the last version in the standard channels (i.e., just sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade). I've changed my xorg.conf file to: Section Device Identifier device0 Option DisableTile Option AccelMethod EXA EndSection Now the xorg.conf does not mention the VESA driver, while the laptop does not show problems of any kind. The problem is solved for me, this way, unless I am missing something big. Am I? There are some glitches, however. Input text entries (for example, at login) are surrounded by a thick green border (?), while they are still functional, and the lxconsole program shows some artifacts while moving the window... these artifacts disappear when you press enter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-savage in 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/xserver-xorg-video-savage/+bug/1083032/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1083032] Re: Video driver not working for Savage chipset
baltasarq, I meant EXA without DisableTile. We know already that the latter works. Anyway, I got the chance to look at this and was able to reproduce using the lts-quantal stack. Trying EXA just after XAA had messed up caused a total lock-up, but after reboot EXA seems to work, although things look slow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-savage in 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/xserver-xorg-video-savage/+bug/1083032/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1083032] Re: Video driver not working for Savage chipset
I talked too soon. EXA wasn't really running because the savage kernel module had not been loaded (new kernel after I rebooted, since the xorg- lts upgrades the kernel as well) for some reason. After loading the kernel module and restarting (with EXA) I got a full lock-up again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-savage in 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/xserver-xorg-video-savage/+bug/1083032/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

You have been subscribed to a public bug: 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.

Michael, thanks for the testing. This is very helpful. Can you please also attach your Xorg.0.log? I can not promise to get to this the next few weeks, but the first thing I will do is to build a debug build of the savage driver (add -DTRACEON to CFLAGS in debian/rules) both before and after upgrading to xserver- xorg-lts-quantal and see if something obvious is different in the logs.
