 Hi there,
 
 I bought an Acer Aspire 1353LM a month ago and I have installed MDK 9.1.
 The graphic card is a S3ProSavage8 8×AGP. MDK uses the vesa driver for
 it, that works fine, excepting some flickering when watching dvds with
 mplayer (or any dvd player).
 
 I wanted to install the proper driver (the one from Tim Roberts), but it
 didn't work. Tim told me that the chipset is actually a CastleRock one
 and that the 4.4 version of the XFree86 will support it. Is there no way
 to have a driver for the 4.3 version? (I have been using Linux for less
 than a month and upgrading XFree86 won't be an easy task.)

There is a driver provided by VIA for that card but just for Xfree4.2,
now Xfree people is working on it to updated to Xfree 4.4, but the work
is not ready there is no cvs driver yet.




 
 Many thanks for your excellent work,
 
 
 Pablo
