[Savage40] New binary snapshots

[Felix Kühling]

Hi,

for all of you who did not build the new Savage DRI driver from source,
there are now binary snapshots available at
http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots. See also
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Download.

Let me reiterate the biggest gotchas with the new driver:
      * You need a 2.6 kernel.
      * You should set Option "ShadowStatus" "true" in xorg.conf, or
        you're very likely to suffer from lockups.

If you get lockups even with ShadowStatus there are a few more options
you can try:

      * In driconf disable vertex DMA (or define enable_vdma=false in
        the environment).
      * Set Option "DmaType" "PCI" or Option "ForcePCIMode" "true" in
        xorg.conf.

If you need any of these, I'd be interested in your exact hardware specs
and which options are really needed in order to get rid of lockups.

Best regards,
  Felix
