I had the Same Issue but I might have more information.
I am on a Toshiba Tecra 8100 with the Savage mx
I got the same black screen in the test when I setup Xfree during instalation. I
thought since I saw the cursor that I was good and proceded witht the installation.
On boot up I got the background and the cursor, nothing else. One thing of note is
that the cursor did change to the pointing hand when it was above where the
usernames are listed to click. so I clicked and it seemed to work. The cursor now
changed to the text insert cursor when I was above where the password should be
entered. I tried to login but I don't know if I was successful because it seems all
windows are transparent.
It seems that the windows are not being drawn. I do seem to have 4 white dots
outlining something but I can't get this to do anything.
This was with Xfree86 4.2.99 (The latest on the RC1 CD). The black test screen
showed up al all bitdepths and screen resolutions as well as using the
savage(generic) as well as the savage/mx drivers.
I found that using Xfree86 3.3.6 does work (I'm using this laptop right now)
Now if I can urpmi --auto-select successfully to the latest cooker I can try the
latest,
but alas: I get Installation failed:
libsasl%{major} is needed by cyrus-sasl-2.1.10-3mdk
but that is another bug..
Happy Hunting

I have a serious problem on my ASUS laptop, here is its configuration :
ASUS L8400
PIII 850Mhz on i440BX mother board chipset
192Mo SDRAM
S3 SavageMX 8Mo AGP 2X
20Go HDD
I'm running Mandrake Linux on it since 8.1 and without any problem with the 9.0.
here is the problem: when I select S3 SavageMX during the installation and try
to test it, the graphical window begins to appear, first a black empty window
with just the littre cross cursor, then the cursor change to an arrow and...
nothing else, the window stay black. I can move the cursor on the screen but
there isn't anything else dispayed.
If you want me to send you some helpful files like logs or anything else which
could help you to find the bugs, just send me an e-mail with the name of the
files you need.
