IMHO, gamma mesa driver was the cleaner to understand.

Nowhere around until I will fix (later this year) some of the (theoretical 
and non) mistakes. I started it at the real beginning of my driver, so it is 
no longer accurate. Sorry ; (

Yep. I have. Since a couple of us already requested docs for more recent 
Savage chips we will wait to see what is S3 attitude about it. If good, I 
will give you a contact, so that you could get yours; otherwise we will only 
risk to flood them with useless and repetitive requests. I will keep you 
informed.
