Thanks for your attention. I'm using XFree86 4.1.0.1 with Debian 3.2 (Kernel 2.2.20) Following the instructions by http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html, I downloaded the tgz file called xf43sav-27t.tgz (maybe this was my error! :-D). Inside it, there is the savage_drv.o file only. At this point, I followed the "NewBie Info" section by http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html. I copied the savage_drv.o to the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/savage_drv.o, and I changed the XF86Config-4 file following the instructions: - Switch to 4.x : rm /etc/X11/X ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X - and make this changes in XF86Config-4 file: Section "Device" Identifier "Savage" VendorName "S3" BoardName "Savage" VideoRam 32768 EndSection Section "Screen" Driver "svga" Device "Savage" Monitor "Your Monitor Here" DefaultColorDepth 16 Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection After this, when I restart X Server, I have a error message (from XFree86.0.log) : This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way. Bugs may be reported to [email protected] and patches submitted to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions, please check the latest version in the XFree86 CVS repository (http://www.XFree86.Org/cvs) XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: 21 December 2001 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
