[Savage40] S3 Savage Pro+ on Debian Sarge (Stable)

[richard]

Hi,

new to the group and pretty new to Linux too.
I have just put a new graphics card in the computer as the old one died but am 
having great problems configuring it. Any suggestions would be welcome. 
Following is information on the system and the current  config files. I would 
be prepared to change XFree for Xorg if that is what it takes but it seems to 
be non trivial so may need a little help.

Thanks for any help you can give.


Debian runs XFree86 4.3.0 not Xorg
this version of XFree comes with the savage driver 1.1.27t Savage driver
After a great deal of editing I have manage to get it working at 1600x1200 24 
bit colour but I cannot get acceleration working on this card. Glxgears shows 
70 fps. 


Card is a PC,I Diamond, Stealth III S540 with 32MB

cat /proc/pci 
Bus  0, device  13, function  0:
    VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. Savage 4 (rev 4).
      IRQ 17.
      Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min Gnt=4.Max Lat=255.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfe000000 [0xfe07ffff].
      Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe8000000 [0xefffffff].

Computer is Intel PIII 800 coppermine.
