    I don't need aiglx support... just for it to simply say I have dri working.
    I have checked for the dri section and is there.
    I have no idea why it doesn't work. It did way back when I manually installed it in Breezy.
    As for my lspci output with the graphics card...
    jason@lappy:~$ lspci | grep Savage
    01:01.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV (rev 13)

    encompass,

    This works for my T22 with the same graphics chip:
    Code:
    Section "Device"
        Identifier	"MyVideoCard"
        Driver	"savage"
        Option	"BusType"		"AGP"
        Option	"DmaType"		"AGP"
        Option	"DmaMode"		"None"
        Option	"AGPMode"		"2"
        Option	"AGPSize"		"16"
        Option	"SWCursor"		"true"
        #VideoRam	8192
    EndSection
    glxgears ~390, ~130 without. HTH.

    I didn't see much of an improvement. Looks like I am stuck with what I have. Does your's say it has direct rendering? Mine doesn't.
    And your settings run fine... but if I try to shutdown the X server it won't go down. But in the background I can shut it down softly.

    well, what does your Xorg.0.log say when trying to load the dri module?

    Have you had a look at https://bugs.freedesktop.org for any open bugs related to your video chip?

    Re: HOWTO: Enable DRI (3D support) on SAVAGE cards

    Hey guys,

    I'm having the same DRI problem here. I have a T23 thinkpad with superSavage IXC SDR video card and have tried all the common and savage drivers and i keep getting an unable to compile error. Just installed this today and did all the updates and have 2.6.17-10-386 kernel running on here. What do i need to do to get this thing running right?

    Wow, thanks to the above guy who posted a bunch of xorg.conf options. It boosted my FPS by a good 200! I'm still having trouble installing the latest DRI drivers. Im running Edgy (Ubuntu 6.10), kernel 2.6.17-10-generic. It says I am missing some packages... What packages do I need?

    I believe you do not have to compile anything in Edgy.

    Why are you using the -386 kernel instead of the -generic?

    Could you post the output of:

    Code:
    lspci
    and

    Code:
    lspci -n
    and

    Code:
    lsmod | grep savage
    and if possible, could you please add a couple of attachments with your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files?

    Cheers

    Beryl and SuperSavage cards.

    Mainly my interests lay in getting Beryl working on a ThinkPad T23. 3d acceleration is a must, does anyone have beryl working with this video card?

    I've also posted a separate thread if you're interested in getting Beryl working with a S3 supersavage card.
