Alex is mostly dealing with 2D issues while I'm focusing on the 3D part. Both parts are important as they have to play together nicely. I'm not familiar with the Diamond Stealth. I assume it's a trading name for your graphics card. You should first find out which chip from the Savage family you have on your graphics card. Use lspci and lspci -n for that. You can find the PCI IDs and the corresponding chips on http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html. The driver is currently known to work with savage4, twister and prosavage chips. We are confident that the Savage3D-based cards will be supported in the near future as well. I have a ProSavage DDR myself but Alex has sent me a Savage4 and a Savage IX graphics card that I expect to arrive soon. Current development issues are discussed on [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's pretty high traffic. There are mailing list archives, see the dri.sf.net homepage for details. Every monday there are IRC meetings on freenode.net #dri-devel at 2100 UTC. I hope this gets you started. Best regards, Felix P.S.
