I tried to upgrade my s3 savage binary this is a very confusing thing. The probe site tells you to try s3 first for there driver. I download the s3 driver and when I open the tgz file in kde (or any desktop actually) all the files in the archive look corrupt. They all have weird chars ect. Download it and look (https://ranger.s3graphics.com/290-298drv/Savage_4.1.0_binary.tgz). But if I unpack it at a console it creates one binary file. I then copy it over top of the old file and now x won't start. I don't want to reload. Is there a way to fix this? What is the correct procedure for updating this driver?
