There are rumors about some Savage4's that lock up when reading the
status register. :-/ A workaround would be to use shadow status (the
card writes status to system/AGP memory and the driver picks it up from
there). This is high on my todo list, but it'll require some fundamental
work on the DRM driver first. In the mean time, maybe trying different
AGP speeds would help. Or is this a PCI card?

Also, the Savage4 I'm using for testing here has severe heat problems.
Mounting a small fan on top of the passive heat sink helped.

Good to know that at least one Savage4 works more or less reliably. ;-)
