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).

The problem is caused because the xxa module is not found and, in turn, DRI support cannot be enabled. In the meantime, I have had no other choice than using vesa driver until the issue is sorted out. I'm using ArchLinux and the maintainer of the package of this driver has told me to contact you to find a solution.

Hey Tormod, I'm setting up an old Acer Aspire 1300 with the S3 Savage chip in it. I added your PPA to my sources.list to test and installed your version of the Xorg server + drivers. I rebooted single user, ran Xorg -configure and I edited xorg.conf to only contain an entry for the savage driver so as to avoid accidental it works! while you're unconsciously running vesa or something else. I specified only Option AccelMethod EXA and not DisableTile. I can confirm the graphics work. Without an Xorg.conf, graphics won't work and are gibberish. I'm not familiar with these cards experience wise, but it seems slow, draging windows is jerky and scrolling too.

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.

[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

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.
