[Savage40] New binary snapshots

[Hassan Aurag]

Just wanted to say thanks for these snapshots. I have FC3 with toshiba
satellite laptop and installed this for my S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV
(rev 11) and it works fine.

Had trouble building this beast with the instructions at xorg.

Bye

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
