The latest Savage driver from Tim Roberts, is included in Red Hat Linux 7.1 and 7.2, either stock, or with our current erratum. Tim's driver is the latest driver. >If you are using XFree86 4.1... then you may like to look at Tim >Savage's driver (which he claims is more up to date that the S3 >one). NOTE: It is compiled for Xfree86 4.1 and won't work with >4.03 which incidentally ships with RedHat 7.1 (I can't comment >on other distros). It is the latest one, and that driver was released quite some time AFTER Red Hat Linux 7.1 was shipped. I communicate with Tim fairly often, and update the Savage driver with his newest code whenever he releases a new update. The current Savage driver shipped for both Red Hat Linux 7.1 and 7.2 is 1.1.20t, which is the latest version unless a new one has come out and gotten past me. Hope this helps. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A. Harris Shipping/mailing address: OS Systems Engineer 190 Pittsburgh Ave., Sault Ste.
